The reserve lies about 13 km north of town, and the visitor zone is Rajamala. From the ticket office, ride the park shuttle bus up the mountain, then walk about 1.5 km along a paved trail. You can often see endangered Nilgiri tahr up close beside the path, surrounded by meadows and Anamudi Peak wrapped in clouds. Tickets for foreign visitors cost about 500 rupees, including the shuttle bus. The park is open roughly 07:30 to 16:00. Queues are long in peak season, so arrive as soon as it opens or book online. The park closes during the lambing season in February and March, so check the official website before you set out.
