Mudumalai National Park is the most significant sanctuary in the state, Mudumalai shares its border with Bandipur Sanctuary of Karnataka and Wayanad Sanctuary of Kerala. With its rich flora and fauna Mudumalai makes a wonderful habitat for the wildlife.

Positioned in the Nilgiri district of Tamil Nadu the Mudumalai National Park is the bridge between the Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats. Previously it had been a hotspot for hunters but after the 1940s it was converted into a National Park by the state government. In 2007 it was pronounced as a tiger reserve.
