Nestled
on the northeastern slopes of the Nilgiris, Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary
has the distinction of being the first wildlife sanctuary to be created in
South India in 1940. This gently undulating hilly terrain of the Western
Ghats lies on Tamil Nadu's interstate boundaries with Karnataka and Kerala.
Strategically located near Bandipur National Park, Waynad Sanctuary and
the Sigur and Singara reserve forests, it also comes under the proposed
Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The Moyar River, the most importance source of
water in the sanctuary, separates Mudumalai from adjoining Bandipur, with
similar flora and fauna. Since most other streams dry up in early June,
you have a good chance of sighting wildlife in the dry season around the
Moyar. You can see giant squirrels with ease. Known for its endemic bird
species like Malabar Trogon, Malabar Grey Hornbill and Malabar Great Black
Woodpecker, Mudumalai is a birdwatcher's delight. The park forms part of
an important corridor for migratory elephants who move in large herds
through Nagarahole, Bandipur and Mudumalai to the forest regions of Kerala.
You can interact closely with the mahouts and their tame giants at the
Elephant Training Camp at Theppakadu, which has the distinction of the
highest number of elephant births in captivity.
