Connect with nature in its purest form

At Mudumalai, there’s so much you can do. Take a thrilling jeep safari to venture deep into the reserve, where every turn promises a new discovery of insects, reptiles, plants and wildlife. Visit the Theppakadu Elephant Camp to learn more about the gentle giants. Trekking and nature walks are perfect to soak in the peace and quiet of the forest, while birdwatching tours offer you a chance to spot many rare bird species.

Explore the surroundings

After you’ve had your fill of the reserve, there are plenty of attractions nearby to visit. Among many other attractions, a drive up to Ooty (Udhagamandalam), just 40 kilometres away, is a great place with its cool climate, sprawling tea gardens, places like the Botanical Gardens and Ooty Lake, and popular restaurants and cafes. You can also visit the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a fun-filled toy train ride. For a quieter escape, head to the Avalanche Lake and the scenic Coonoor hills. Or then, there’s the beautiful town of Gudalur close by, at the meeting point of the three states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
