Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, Tholpetty - Tourist attraction in Sultan Bathery, Tholpetty - Wayanad, India

Early morning ride to catch first jeep. My sonny boy loved it

The forests constitute various forest types like the tropical moist dry deciduous, patches of semi evergreen forests and trees and plants like the bamboo and long spiky bushes of ginger. Plantations of teak, eucalyptus, silver oak and rosewood cover about one third of the sanctuary. Frequent sightings of elephant herds, deers, big cats, panthers, tigers, langurs, bonnet macaques, bison, sambar deer, malabar squirrels, bears and the rare Slender Loris have all been reported in these forests.

This is a plastic free zone. There is only limited jeeps available in evening (almost 20). It starts enterning at 3pm and better to reach on time, otherwise it will be unlucky as jeeps are not available. We can spend too much time in the forest almost (1-1.5 hours). Its very rare to see tigers, elephants and wolves.

early morning arrival is much better for getting tickets and to see animals

Nothing exciting. Couldn't see any animal except deer,monkey and peacock. If u go for 1st trip I think it's possible to see any wild animal. But it's k...... get the tickets early morning otherwise the counter us closed by 8.

Can see somany wild animals

Very bad service. These people don't know how to talk and please beware in evening only 20 jeep they sent in the forest. It's written they have to sent 7 people in jeep but they r only sending 3 people in 1st 10 jeep. Really so bad service. I hope they improve their service

Best among the bests.... greenery and chill area to be spent. This is also known as Begoor and tholpetty range
