From Udhamalpettai we went on towards Mariyur and reached the forest check-post. Just in time, it would seem. They don’t allow vehicles inside the sanctuary after 6. It was beautiful single lane forest ride inside the national part. The ride was totally awesome, as can be seen from the pictures taken.
The TN - Kerala border is separated by the Chinar river, with a bridge over it. This river runs right through the national park. The bridge was down. No 4 wheelers could go through. Fortunately for us, there was a metre wide iron foot bridge, which comfortably accommodated our rides.
