My TripAdvisor Review No.266: Mudumalai National Park, Tamil Nadu.

Beautiful Drive Through A Tiger Reserve.

The highway from Ooty to Mysore passes through the Mudumalai National Park and Tiger Reserve. After passing the town of Gudalur we entered this wildlife sanctuary. We had to drive at a moderate speed as there were regular speed bumps on the way. But it is a very beautiful drive through evergreen forests. We spotted many chital deer, monkeys and a lone wild elephant by the side of the road.

We did not stop or stay at any of the resorts In Mudumalai. Accommodation is available inside the sanctuary, near Theppakadu and Masinagudi. Jeep Safaris can also be arranged at the resorts through private operators.

We enjoyed our drive through the jungles, where the wild animals have the right of way. There are many signboards on the way not to stop, or to have a picnic, or litter the clean and green reserve, which we have to strictly observe. We had to slow down at times to let the deer cross the road.

At the border of Tamil Nadu with Karnataka there is a check-post. Mudumalai (in Tamil Nadu) then merges with the Bandipur National Park (in Karnataka). The highway continues through Bandipur to Mysore.
