Tourists were in a state of panic when a tiger crossed the road near their vehicle in which they were travelling in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve near Thepakkadu, in Tamil Nadu.


The Nilgiris: A video of a tiger approaching a vehicle carrying tourists at the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve has gone viral on social media.

The Mudumalai Tiger Reserve in the Nilgiris district is home to more than 100 tigers and is a reputed tourist destination in Tamil Nadu which attracts a large number of tourists every day.
