Experience the Untamed Beauty of Annamalai Wildlife Sanctuary
Nestled in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu, Annamalai Wildlife Sanctuary spans over 1,700 sq km of lush forests, grasslands and rolling hills. A paradise for nature enthusiasts, it harbors rare species, cascading waterfalls and panoramic viewpoints—offering a true escape into wilderness.
Flora & Fauna Highlights
Wander beneath towering dipterocarp and teak trees where you might spot elephants, gaurs and barking deer grazing at dawn. Keep your eyes peeled for endangered lion-tailed macaques swinging through the canopy, Malabar giant squirrels patrolling treetops, and over 250 species of birds—from Malabar trogons to hornbills—painting the skies with color.
Waterfalls & Scenic Viewpoints
Trek to the mist-shrouded Upper Anaimalai Waterfalls, where cool pools invite a refreshing swim. Climb to Valparai Viewpoint at sunrise for sweeping vistas over tea estates and dense jungle. Each twist of the winding forest roads reveals new surprises—hidden cascades, misty valleys and sweeping panoramas begging to be photographed.
