Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, Yevakapadi

Recommended for: Popular with trekkers, Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary’s lush greenery and wildlife are worth exploring. While there are no safaris here, the forest department does welcome hikers. The most popular route is the trek up to Brahmagiri Peak, the highest in the area. On your way up, you can encounter the forest’s countless residents. These include lion-tailed macaques, gaurs, jungle cats, sloth bears, deer, and many other beasts. Also, watch out for winged creatures like Emerald Doves and Malabar Trogons. You can also spend some time splashing about the cool waters of the Iruppu Falls. Do note that you need permissions to trek through the forests and that the sanctuary is a plastic-free zone. Within the sanctuary grounds, there are cottages that you can camp at.

Navya considers herself to be the Cassandra of the 21st century – no one ever listens to the wisdom that she so willingly imparts. This is the only Greek tragedy element in her otherwise happy life. She’s got her Husband Charming, has perfected the art of sarcasm, is always fed copious amounts of good food, and is well on her way to self-actualization.
