North Wayanad’s Pristine Forest Sanctuary & Wildlife Safaris
Located in northern Wayanad near Mananthavady, Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary borders Karnataka’s Nagarhole reserve, offering jeep safaris through moist deciduous forests teeming with deer, bison, and vibrant birdlife.
Safaris depart from the Tholpetty forest office along a circular track inside the sanctuary. The moist deciduous forest features massive teak trees, bamboo stands, and open marshes. Early morning safaris often encounter mist-shrouded herds grazing near the main lake.
