Drive time | 5 to 6 hours |
Forest roads | Closed from 9 PM to 6 AM |
Best time | October to May |
Check in at Masinagudi and have lunch. The forest department camp at Theppakadu is a few kilometres away, beside the Moyar river. Come in the late afternoon to see the elephants bathed and fed.
The forest department runs safari vans into Mudumalai from the Theppakadu reception. Tickets are sold at the counter, and on weekends the queue starts early, so one person from the group should stand in line while the others see the camp. Private vehicles cannot go on the safari routes.
A slow morning drive towards Moyar village, where the river runs past teak and bamboo. Bird life is good early. Back to your stay for breakfast and check-out.
Back through Mudumalai and Bandipur in daylight, with a lunch stop in Gundlupet or Mysore. You reach Bangalore around 6 PM.
