Within the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, lies Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary holding on steadfast to its primal wilderness. Acting as a buffer to the Nagarhole National Park, Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary and Bandipur Tiger Reserve, particularly during the dry spells when a number of wild Elephants camp out here, the sanctuary is considered as one of the bio-geographically richest parts of Southern India.Though only the outer corridor of the sanctuary is open to visitors for exploration totalling about 25 kilometres, yet the Wayanad Sanctuary is possibly one of the few places in India where an astonishing variety of wild animals and incredibly diverse flora can be found.
