Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve consists of five national parks.
The two national parks are located under the ecosystem of the reserve prominence, spanning an area of 570 square kilometers. Wild animal spotting is a matter of luck, but animals found in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve include sambar deer, African elephants, wild bison, and muntjac and chital. Therefore, these elephants are the best ecosystem engineers in the country, helping sustain the ecological community and the environs. It is, therefore, a pleasure driving across the forest areas, which makes it a blessing and suitable for people coming to scout this corner of the region.
Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve has diverse flora and fauna.
The support staff inside the safari areas are very hospitable and kind, helping us explore the forest reserve’s condensed and heaped regions. On the way to the reserve, we can also see many tea plantations that farmers and gardeners use to keep the ecosystem alive, more dynamic, and viable. We request the help of all citizens in the country to preserve and conserve these natural resources to safeguard the nation’s ecosystem and heritage.
