Sanctuary is contiguous to the protected area network of Nagarhole and Bandipur
of Karnataka on the northeast and Mudumalai of Tamil Nadu on the southeast.
Rich in bio-diversity, the sanctuary is an integral part of the Nilgiri Biosphere
Reserve, which has been established with the specific objective of conserving
the biological heritage of the region. The sanctuary is very rich in flora and
fauna. The management lays emphasis on scientific conservation with due consideration
