| Mudumalai (Masinagudi) |
This lush green national park is part of the Nilgiri bio-sphere and is separated from the Bandipur National Park (Karnataka) by the Moyar River. It is a 60 km drive from Ooty and the entry gate is at Theppakadu. Along with Bandipur and Nagarhole, Mudumalai forms an important habitat for the Asian elephant. You can see large herds of these magnificent creatures roaming in the forests. The other animals here are Nilgiri tahr, sambar, spotted deer, tiger, leopard and the flying squirrel. The vegetation of the park is dense, with an abundance of teak and rosewood trees.
The Moyar waterfall is a spectacular sight and can be seen down below from the Moyar watchtower. There is an elephant camp at Theppakadu which has around 25 working elephants - you can see them being fed in the evenings. The usual way of touring this park is by the bus safaris organised by the forest department.
