 USEFUL INFORMATION
       
The nerve centre of Mudmalai is Theppakadu. The reception centre of the Forest department is located on the main road and easily identifiable. Tourists can seek information here about the sanctuary, accomodation, safari trips, etc. Tickets for the safaris into the national park are also to be booked here. The reception centre operates daily from 6.30 am to 6.00 pm (tel : +91-423-2526235).
 
Masinagudi village, which is about 7 kms from Theppakadu has reasonably good shopping facilities, offering food items, medicines, batteries, films, foot wear, basic textiles, etc. Masinagudi also has basic medical facilities, including doctors. For more advanced medical treatment, one will have to travel to Ooty or Gudalur. Your hotel or resort should be able to organise medical attention through local doctors, if the need arises.
 
Mudumalai has STD / ISD facilities, which can be accessed either from your hotel or from the number of public call offices located throughout the area.
 
One can get taxis to go to Mysore or Ooty (or for local sightseeing) at Masinagudi or Theppakadu. Check with your hotel for rates, as these can vary by season.
 
There are a few private firms in Masinagudi which organise outdoor activities like trekking, camping, etc.
