A short drive from Coorg’s Somwarpet area, the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary opens up in front of you. While you can take a drive through the forest, it is best experienced by foot especially if you want to catch glimpse of wildlife. You can scale the Pushpagiri peak {the second highest in Coorg} and watch out for wild dogs, Brown Palm Civets, gaurs, elephants and wild pigs. Pushpagiri is renowned for its bird life. And is home to rare species of birds like the grey-breasted laughing thrush and Nilgiri flycatchers.
