Spotted deer in Mudumalai wildlife sanctuary

Mudumalai is a wildlife sanctuary found in 1940. It is spread in 32,155 hectares land and is supposed to be a continuation of the Bandipur National Park. The river Moyar flows between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and runs inside the sanctuary. It is among the first sanctuaries of south India. The forested area is a sight to behold when the river glides across several trees and lush grass. The deciduous trees and the flora and fauna of the place are really rich and diverse. The wildlife here comprises of bonnet macaque, leopard, hyena, sloth bear, sambar, spotted deer, langur, mouse deer, rodent, grey hornbill, crested hawk eagle, Malabar trogan, etc. The main attraction of this place is the elephant camp which is called “Theppakadu”. For the plant lovers there are a lot of medicinal herbs to observe. Look out for plants like Aredesia, Solanancea, Labumusum, Terminalia etc. The best time to be here will be from February and June.
