Masanagudi jungle trek August 14, 2009

Masanagudi jungle trek. Location : Masinagudi, Masinagudi Forest, TamilNadu - Karnataka Border, Niligiris District. Maasanagudi is an exotic locale situated a few kilometers before Ooty, on the Karnataka - Tamil Nadu Border. Masinagudi is a beautiful place on the foothills of Nilgiris just after the Bandipur Wildlife Sanctuary in Karnataka. The place is lush green, peaceful and adventurous at the same time with a lot of trekking and hiking options available trek through the virgin forest and alongside sparkling streams. There is every chance of seeing encountering wildlife (sloth bears, elephants, bison, dholes, tiger, panther, a variety of birds, etc.) at close quarters on a trek. The birds are particularly varied and exotic, due to an immediate change in elevation of 3500 feet that provides a variety of climatic conditions, which appeal to over 320 species of birds. The climb, which is feasibly challenging, begins through bamboo, passes dry deciduous forest, eucalyptus and finally the famed tea plantations of the Nilgiris.
