Mudumalai national park is another half of the national park shared as Bandipur national park. One can see elephants and other wild animals on the roadside while travelling from Mysore to Ooty. Also, there is elephant park where you can see elephants.
It is a total waste. We went for safari ride by paying more amount but we saw only deer and elephants nothing else. No road inside while going. Waste of going from Ooty and waste of time.
The trip to Mudumalai was fantastic and the animals were plentiful and easy to find. We spotted deer, sambar deer, buffaloes, elephants and monkeys. Tigers and leopards were not around, but there were many elephants.
