Mudumalai is tiger reserve forest in Nilgiris. If you are interested in seeing wild animals,i recommend to visit this place.While visiting Mudumalai we traveled through masinagudi. There are two routes to reach mudumalai. If you choose masinagudi route you should be good in driving.on the way to mudumalai itself we able to see the wild animals like monkey,deer,peacock etc.After reaching mudumalai,we have to go for safari ride through government vehicle inside the forest.Its entirely different watching the animals in Zoo and in forest.During our ride we sighted animals like Bison,wild elephant,nilgiri thar,deer.But we are little bit unlucky,we are not able to see any tiger...
The forest around the Mudumalai park is an excellent one. However, the safari must be improved. Unlike Bandipur, the safari ride was a very short bumpy one. We did not spot any animals around the park. There is also no online booking facility for the safari
I went with my friends to Mudumalai National Park.It was an excellent experience.Open Jeep safari is available. We saw lots of elephants and deer.Feeding the Elephants is an awesome experience.Go earlier before 11 AM to park in order to enjoy the safari ride. If you reach after 1 PM, chances of missing the safari are more.
The journey to Mysore via Mudumalai National Park was a memorable experience. We saw some wild animals including Deer, Elephant and etc., It is better to avail cab so that you can stop the vehicles and take the snaps of the wild animals on the way.

Take your own car to visit Madhumalai forest. Some of them told that the normal car doesn't go and we have to take a jeep but its a regular road that any car can go on. There we saw many animals including Deer, Elephant, Peacock, and Monkeys.
There are two good Wildlife sanctuaries Mudumalai & Bandipur which are located one after the other & therefore it is a benefit for wildlife lovers choosing one of them. Safari ride is available here.We hired Zoom car & drove to these places and hence had the liberty to drive around & spot animals.
Mudumalai is the best place to visit with family and friends.One can spot so many wild animals including elephants, deer, bear and tiger in safari ride.

There are many cottages near to this tourist spot.
The drive to this National park from any side might be Mysore, Coimbatore or Ooty is too good. You can spot the animals like Sambhar, Langurs, cheetah, peacocks, Deer etc. If you are lucky you can spot tigers. A must place to visit if you are a wildlife enthusiast. The early morning ride is always good as you might get chances to spot more animals.
The drive is around 100km from Ooty to this National park. Only the forest department vehicles are allowed inside.Private jeeps are available but please don't opt for that it's just a waste of money. Here you can spot a lot of samba deer, Elephants, peacocks. Best place to visit with your kids.

Mudumalai forest is a dense forest surrounded by lush green with plenty of vegetation. Spotting animals in Mudumalai is based on the luck. On safari ride could be able to see only a few animals like deer, elephants, bison, birds etc. The drive through the forest will be a feast for the eyes. Go for early safari so that it gives a chance to find more animals.
It takes 2 hours to reach Mudumalai from Ooty. Everyday Jungle safari is conducted by the forest department at Morning and evening times.You can spot a deer, Bison, Peacock and birds in Mudumalai but you can spot wildlife animals rarely.Morning safari is better than evening when you can spot more animals and birds.The drive to Mudumalai is amazing and gives a different experience.For Wild Lovers and Photographic lovers, it is one of the best places to visit in Ooty.
Mudumalai is one well-known tourist spot. At Mudumalai bus rides and elephant rides are available.The bus safari ride is Rs 135 per head. The ride will be there for 45 minutes.Strictly avoid the private jeep safari they would cost you more nearly Rs 700. The elephant camp with feeding timings at 9 am and 6 pm is really worth a visit with kids.
When you visit Mudumalai or Masinagudi, Moyar river is one of the best places that you need to visit. You can rent a jeep from Masinagudi or Mudumalai to this spot.
