Some biosphere reserves in India are large enough to extend across administrative boundaries like state borders.

The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve is a large and ecologically diverse region that spans across three Indian states: Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. Other biosphere reserves like Achanakmar-Amarkantak are spread over two states (Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh), while Seshachalam is within a single state (Andhra Pradesh), and Agasthyamalai is over two states (Kerala and Tamil Nadu).

The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve was designated as a Biosphere Reserve in 1986 and was later included in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves in 2000.
