Chinnar Wild Life With Valley View tour, we drive approximately 63 kilometers towards Coimbatore from Munnar Info (Tourist Information Center), visiting attractions along the way.It’s a day tour arranged by Munnar Info.in, covering multiple attractions on the way to Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary. This tour is ideal for nature and wildlife enthusiasts.

Venture beyond the hills of Munnar and cross into the rugged, untamed landscapes of Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, where dry forests, riverine corridors, and savanna grasslands converge in a remarkable biodiversity hotspot. On this immersive full- or half-day experience, travel along the scenic State Highway 17 through the Anaimalai Hills, journey into ancient forests, and be rewarded with sweeping valley vistas, wildlife sightings, and the sound of rushing waterways deep in the wilderness. At Chinnar, you’ll stroll forest trails led by expert naturalists, scanning for signs of elephants, leopards, gaur, and even the elusive grizzled giant squirrel—a rare species native to these hills. The Pambar River cuts through the sanctuary, and on trekking paths, you’ll reach the astonishing Thoovanam Waterfalls, a cascade dropping from ~84 ft, hidden in a serene gorge. From elevated vantage points, the lush valley spreads out beneath you—layers of hill ridges, forest patches, and meandering rivers painted by shifting light and occasional mists. This is a place where the wild is visible, and every turn feels like discovering a new realm.
