Thirunelli temple

Thirunelli temple is on a great location surrounded by hills and thick forest. The road to there is through the forest which is part of Tholpetty Wildlife Reserve. 

It is usual to spot animals while travelling through the jungle road which starts past Mananthavady town in Wayanad. 

Thirunelli temple, being a highly revered religious destination, the number of pilgrims travelling to there is quite high. So the forest road has a constant flow of vehicles. There is more chance to see animals when the traffic is low.

The temple and the scenery surrounding are awesome. 

In the picture above, the building on the left is the temple. The right side structure is the office. The ticket counter is also there.
