Tamil Nadu is rich in temples of varied architectural delights, true, but it’s not all temples. The hill stations of Tamil Nadu are equally charming as its beaches and temples. Kodaikanal, Coonoor, Kotagiri, Yelagiri, Yercuad, and Udagamandalam boast some of the stunning landscapes in India. If you are a wildlife enthusiast, Tamil Nadu, has a lot to offer you. It has some of the finest wildlife sanctuaries of India like Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary, Annamalai Wildlife Sanctuary and many more. The Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary is world-famous for its elephant populations, which can be seen moving in large herds, sometimes numbering into hundreds. They come out as if to put up a show for you exclusively! Tigers, the patriarch of jungles, can also be spotted in the parks and wildlife sanctuaries of Tamil Nadu in the man-made natural habitat. The state also has a number of important eco-tourism destinations of India, including the famous Pitchavaram Mangrove Forests in Chidambaram. Even if you skip wildlife hill stations promise you the unique combination of thrill and relaxation. Kodaikanal (gift of forest) is a beautiful hill station located in the Palani hills of Tamil Nadu.
