You can easily access Bandipur within a day’s trip. If you get your own hired vehicle then the trip could be more fun and exciting. If you are in Mysore, you can easily make a trip to the place. You can take up Mysore Ooty road and you can have something at Udupi Upahar, which is famous for serving great lunch and meals.

You may see spotted elephants, lions and tigress on the road side. There are ordinary langurs and macaque monkeys that you can see on the road side.

As soon as it reaches to Kerala Border, it becomes contiguous to Muthanga sanctuary. In total they form part of Nilgiris Biosphere. You can see the dense forest going on both the sides of road. You are not able to walk or trek along the roads of mundumalai section of forest and you can look on several sign boards that are seen there. You may walk through the later part of forest but they may involve encounter to many animals like elephants and all.

Bandipur national park is said to be an important reserve for tigers and it is situated 80 kms from Mysore. You can come to this place with kids and friends.
