Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary
The Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary is for those seeking to enjoy the rich forest greenery and the wholesome experience of the forest. The scenic road leading to the sanctuary enhances the overall experience, especially with the added beauty of fog in the surrounding. The Sanctuary has four ranges namely Sulthan Bathery, Muthanga, Kurichiat and Tholpetty. Elephants, deer, peacocks, monkeys, and wild squirrels are frequently spotted in the sanctuary. It's important to keep in mind that wildlife sightings are not guaranteed and largely depend on chance. Even if you don't encounter a wide variety of animals, the overall experience of being in the sanctuary can still be worthwhile. Arriving at the sanctuary early, preferably by 6 am, can increase the chances of getting tickets and securing a spot in the first round of bus or jeep rides. Both bus and jeep safaris are available, allowing visitors to choose according to their budget and preferences. However, if you prefer a more intimate and immersive experience, the jeep safari might be a better option despite its higher cost. The ride is for 1 hour, there is the the option of taking the bus & Jeep (Limited number). Bus ride could accommodate 21 people the ride starts at 7.30 am. The Bus Safari costs Rs 300 and jeep safari costs Rs 2000, it's a package you should pay 2000 for one jeep safari even if you are a limited number of three. It's worth noting that the buses could be better designed for sightseeing, with some blind spots due to pillars The sanctuary might only accept cash for ticket purchases and other transactions, so it's advisable to carry sufficient cash along with you. You cannot take your own vehicles inside the premises of the safari.

Don’t go here, elephant abuse!
Please don’t go here if you care even a little bit about animal wellbeing. They keep captivated elephants chained tightly on a tree next to the road, to make sure visitors see some “wildlifeâ€. Made us feel horrible. The safari itself is very disappointing as well. Afterwards we asked the staff why the elephants in chains where there. They told us it was for training, but suddenly “his English wasn’t sufficient to explainâ€. Even if it is for training, elephants should be in the wild, and if they are not, you should not display them in a WILDlife sanctuary, as if it’s a zoo. We would give 0 stars if we could. People who would like to experience a wildlife safari without animal abuse and with actual chances of spotting real and beautiful wildlife please don’t go here, go to Bandipur for example.

Was Totally not worth it as saw no animals.
Will not recommend as its a waste of time and money as hardly saw any animals. Even the officials are not very helpful and dont guide about the jungle and cannot communicate in english as well
