Mudumalai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is part of Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. It was the private hunting grounds for the
erstwhile royalty of Mysore. A very rich diversity of flora and fauna, some
endemic to this region, attract wildlife enthusiasts from across the globe. The sanctuary is divided into five segments - Masinagudi, Thepakadu, Mudumalai, Kargudi and Nellakota.
Masinagudi is a serene stretch of forest between Bandipur National Park and Mudumalai National Park. Rare flora and fauna bless the area, and peace and tranquility are evergreen here. The elephants grace the forest with their presence, and the cool climate make Masinagudi the ideal getaway.
