and have been built as look-alikes of the Maharaja and Viceroy buildings, located
in the camp. | The national parks of Nagarhole, Bandipur and Mudumalai
are contiguous and share very similar characteristics. A fourth national
park, Wynad, also adjoins them. Together they form the largest protected
area for the Indian Elephant, Gaur, Tiger and Leopard in South India.
Other large mallams include Liontail Macaque, Wild Boar and Sambar. The
parks occupy a NW-SE alignment, with Nagarhole national park at the top,
Bandipur in the middle and Mudumalai at the bottom. The forests are tropical
mixed deciduous. In the northern and western parts of Nagarhole national
park, which receive more rainfall, the forest are denser and taller, with
hardwood trees like Rosewood, Teak and Mathi . sandalwood trees also grow
here. Elsewhere in Nagarhole national park, and in Bandipur and Mudumalai
national park, which lie in the rain shadow of the Western Ghats, the
forests are more open with more grasslands, and the trees are stunted
(hence mammal sightings are less difficult). Season : Open year round, the best period being October-May, especially April-May. Access : Fly to Bangalore and drive to Nagarhole (6 hours) or Bandipur (6-7 hours). The nearest station railway station is Mysore. For Mudumalai National Park the nearest airport is Coimbatore (160 km) and the nearest railway station Ooty or Udhagamandalam (64 km). |
