Sadly, we could not go inside as we were accompanied by our puppy.The place seemed serene and beautiful.I am writing this so that people can know there are certain restrictions, which we did not know before travelling so far.1: No pets allowed- so if you are travelling with pets then you will have to stay at the gates as you won’t be allowed. If somehow u manage to enter with pets without the knowledge of guards then u will have to pay a fine of 10k. (So stick to the rules)The reason for no pets being allowed inside is because it is a wildlife area.2: No alcohol or cigarettes: don’t carry unnecessary items that can get you in trouble.3: there is a entry fees of 50Rs/each, pay that follow the rules and have fun.We hope to go next time without are puppy. Missed being inside .Take care stay safe.

Are you a nature lover? If so then you must definitely visit here. Lovely place with dense forest. Captured few natural shots via my lens.

Awesome a Big Dam Enjoyed lot

The trip here is very good. When we reached the entrance the two officers who were there bought us a ticket for Rs.50 (actual price Rs.20 )and the journey was very enjoyable and fun. Except for unqualified officers

By the mid-1800s, large tracts of Valparaiplateau in the Anamalais were under intense tea or coffee plantations after deforestationof the natural forests. By 1866 two-thirds of the plantations were owned by Europeans and the remaining by Indians from coastal towns. Since most native inhabitants either refused to work or were inefficient workers, labour for plantations was brought from the plains of Tamil Nadu to clear forests and grow coffee.Some parts of the forest however were reserved for timber including large areas around Top Slip. This part of the Western Ghats, under the Bombay Presidency were exploited extensively for teak which was supplied to the Bombay Dockyard for shipbuilding and later for railroad ties.In 1855, this area came under sustainable forest management for teak plantations by the pioneering efforts Douglas Hamilton and Dr. H. F. Cleghorn of the new Tamil Nadu Forest Department. In the early 1900s, protection of the Karian Sholas was also ensured (Johnsingh 2006a).The area was notified as Anaimalai Wildlife Sanctuary in 1974. of its unique habitats at 3 places – Karian Shola, Grass hills, Manjampatti Valley were notified as a National Park in 1989. The 108 square kilometres (42 sq mi) National Park is the core area of the 958 square kilometres (370 sq mi) Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary. IGWS was declared a Project Tiger tiger reserve in 2008.The Park and the Sanctuary is under consideration by UNESCO as part of The Western Ghats World Heritage site. The Sanctuary and the Palni Hills in Dindigul District form the Anaimalai Conservation Area.

The Anamalai Tiger Reserve is a reserve forest for conservation of wild animals. This is a beautiful forest area where you can witness the wild leopards, tigers, peacocks, spotted deers. You can take a jungle safari and witness these cute animals in the reserve. There is a variety of reptile species at the Amaravathi Crocodile Farm.Distance from Coimbatore: 111.0 kmEstimated Time: 3 hour 44 min

Thirumurthy hills deam senter up to 120 years to Come back in this place is a very long and strong full building

Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary and National ParkTimings: All days : 6:00 am to 6:00 pmIndra Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly called Anamalai Wildlife Sanctuary), widely known as Top Slip is located at about 37 km from Pollachi town.There are many places of natural and scenic beauty in the Anamalai wildlife sanctuary. Some of them are Grass hills, Karianshola, Anaikunthi Shola, groves, waterfalls, teak forests, reservoirs and dams.There are arrangements of exploring the sanctuary on elephant back or by van.

People who loves forest environment should visit this place😍.we saw 4 to 5 elephants,bison and peacock.And a roar of tigerer🥳.good place👍.

One of the worst experiences.I have been visiting Top Slip for almost 20 years now and this was one of the worst experiences for my wife and I. There were some men who had brought in drinks and were drinking, smoking openly. They kept playing loud music until 11 pm in the night and it was astonishing to me that none of the wardens, police took any action on it. I finally had to step out of my room and ask the men to turn off the music .I have written a official complaint to Anamalai Tiger Reserve .I am not sure if they are going to take any action but if so I will edit this post later on.

Very nice climate to attract people

It is located in pollachi. full of hilly place.in the entrance there is a park and a scenary view wher the animals will come and go at night time. on the top they have a wooden houses for the people who wish to stay to see the animals roaming around the forest. for thet we need to book a room before going There. it is better book before two weeks and you can go by night.rooms will available as a separate and a large size. there is a timing bus inside to go parambikulam watet falls which located in the kerala border.

Very nice place to visit

Great place to unwind..

Man, awsome road 💕💕

March April may summer session, fully dry.

The Tiger reserve is a dense forest. The ride through the forest roads is amazing with beautiful views

Excellent adventure place

Awesome place in western ghat

Good dense forest. Nice ride though the forest......... I really enjoyed the ride, only the road is too narrow. If you are visiting raining season maybe you can enjoy more than other season. Anamalai is the forest in the Tamil Nadu side and other side it share with chinnar and parambikulam tiger reserved forest........

Semma enjoyment. Super place

Very nice forest reserve area of south india

Nice place to visit with your children. Scenes are absolutely beautiful

Wonderful place to visit for nature and animal lovers. I took the students for Environmental psychology field trip and it was a wonderful learning experience. Mr.Saleem (ECG) was our leader who arranged the trip and gave a very good orientation and awareness. A must for all those who think about nature and animals must visit this place, stay couple of days here.

Super

It was fun actually🤍

The falls is too good and lively.water force was too good . My long bike ride pains were washed away by this water fall when I stood under it. Wow she is a real beauty of the water body. Love to stand under those waters falling all over your heart , soul and physical body . Lost myself over there. Just try closing your eyes and feel the water with love, Heaven will be there. Must try the above things. Take care of your things because there will be no one to look after things. Dont eat before monkeys they are always watching to take eatables away from you . Hope you like it . Let me know if you feel the same .

Good place to enjoy for a while with your family.

Really super place good for family enjoyment and falls was so beautiful

HiJust want to share the worst customer service experience I have faced for over 8 months this 2020.We had made a reservation during April, 2020 and due to the unfortunate circumstances cancellation was processed by the Anamalai Tiger Reserve on 27th March. Soon after I have been trailing with over 50 odd mails and several calls to the customer support executive. Everytime I was been told the booking was canceled and we processed your refund.But nope, its been 9 months and we did not receive any refund right until today. This was such a disappointing experience for me. Did not expect that a reputed organization such as this, can turn out to render the poorest response.Being a local guide, its my responsibility to make sure everyone know the facts clear.

Just a reserve forest. You can see elephants during morning time at a particular stretch where they cross the road to reach amaravathi dam for drinking water. Nothing else. Not so greenish.

Dense forest. Good road.

Amazing trip

Disappointed with this place

In and around Amaravathi dam

Nice place I was passing through while going to valparai

Only small portion left as forest.being used for wild life, along road only tea estate occupy

Indians Switcharland

A dense forest and a cool ride refreshes the mind

Any one plz tell me anamalai is it open or not..

Really nice place to see with kids...

When I planned to go there, they had a check post and said we should get permission from forest department to go inside. So I couldnt go. I went straight to valparai

Awesome traveling places

Nice

I feel it has been neglected for a while

Beautiful places

Nice place 👌👌👌

Nice place

The roads were narrow and the animal will walk at any time. The are check post at the borders. While we are riding the bike the group of elephants cross the road .we just wait for it to crossing. While we travel at night we are just afraid to cross the road because they warned us that at night time elephants will come. We travel along with a lorry. The slope of the mountains is very lovely and we enjoyed to drive bike in it. It is an awesome experience for me to travel there with my friends

Good place to chill out

Sema climate

Intersting place need to visit

Its kadambarai Christ Church.

Cool place

We visited top slip from 27 to 29 june 2019. Lovely place to stay and unwind. The weather is real good, more so if you are from Chennai. You are certain to see deer and bison in the night and if lucky one or two elephants.Do not expect a warm welcome from the reception desk in charge officer.Down the line almost every one is friendly and helpful. Plan your visit during working days and you will have the whole place to yourself.

Wonderful scenario laughing with friends funs overloaded ❤️❤️❤️
