Mudumalai
can be visited throughout the year. The main national park may be
closed occasionally during the dry period of March-April to avoid
forest fires (please contact the Wildlife department for details),
but the rest of the sanctuary is open through the year. The private
resorts and hotels also function throughout the year. The two monsoon
periods (milder South West monsoon showers in July and heavier North-East
monsoon rains in October-November) are avoidable. The forests are
lush green after the monsoons and therefore the post monsoon months
can be very pleasant if you wish to savour the jungles in full bloom.
January to June is cited as the best season, but animal sightings
chances are almost equal through the year since the vegetation is
mainly deciduous and scrub jungle. |
