Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, Wayanad

An ideal destination to watch herds of elephants, the sanctuary is contiguous with the protected area of the Nagarhole National Park and the Bandipur Tiger Reserve in neighbouring Karnataka and Mudumalai of Tamil Nadu.

Spread over 345 sq km the sanctuary is rich in fauna and flora, and comes under Project Elephant.
Elephants roam here freely and tigers can be sighted often. The trees and plants in the sanctuary are typical of the moist deciduous forests of the west coast.
Elephant rides are arranged by the Forest Department.
