The Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary (90.422 sq. km) is famous for its wildlife. Its dry deciduous forests make it simpler to view the various species that inhabit the land. Herds of Asiatic Elephants, Gaur, Spotted Deer, Tiger, the elusive Leopard, the legendary ‘white bison of Manjampatti’, and the colourful birds and butterflies make Chinnar a must see destination.
Undulating terrain with rocky patches enhances the scenic splendour of the Sanctuary. Camp in a traditional thatched hut on a ledge atop a hill and gaze up at the stars at night and out at the wildlife in the day. Take a dip in the Pampar River to cool off in the dry heat of day. Interact with the local indigenous peoples of Chinnar and marvel at the legends that surround you here. Also noted for its archaeological importance, the Dolmens, built between first and fifth century CE, are a major attraction in Chinnar.
