History of Mudumalai
Nestled amidst the Nilgiri Hills in Tamil Nadu, Mudumalai is a part of the greater Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. It is one of
the most important wildlife sanctuaries in South India. The name Mudumalai stands for the ancient hill range that descends
down to the Mysore plateau and contiguous with Bandipur forest reserve, which gives it wider access to elephants and gaurs.
The approach to the sanctuary from Ooty is spectacular, twisting, and turning down 36 hairpin bends through wooded hills
and past waterfalls.
