I love to travel. Traveling and seeing new places, observing the flora and fauna
of the place has always been my priority. I am always inclined to greenery, may
be because I come from the hills of India. The northern region of India
(Uttrakhand), to where I belong is lush green with the grand Himalayas in
the background. After living in Mumbai(The economic capital of India) for long,
which is very busy and less green like any other metro, I miss my hills and greens
a lot. Therefore I like to travel to the greener zones.
This time my stop was Madumalai National Park. Briefly, the National Park
is located in the state of Tamil Nadu and comes under Nilgiri Biosphere reserve.
Its adjoining national parks are Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, Bandipur National
Park, Nagarhole National Park and Mukurthi National Park. The total area of
the reserve is 33,000 square km. The main animal inhabitants include leopard,
Elephant, Deer, Chital deer, Sambar Deer, Grey langur, wild boar and more.
Besides, peacock are present in abundance.
I would recommend an early morning safari along the main road itself. If
you have your own vehicle that is even better. Drive slowly along the main
road and you can see whole deer and peacock families. They can be seen
easily and you can even click picture without bothering them. Just like I clicked....
I would recommend using a really good camera, as you can click much better
pictures with them.
Besides, Madumalai National Park has a elephant rearing center having 13
elephants. A feeding program is organized for them in the presence of public
in evening. Seeing so many elephants together was indeed a rare site.

If you are really interested in wild life, Madumalai National Park is a good option.
