Melagiri, Forest reserve in Krishnagiri district, India.
The Melagiri forest reserve spans 1295 square kilometers of dry deciduous and semi-evergreen forests between the Cauvery and Chinnar rivers at 1395 meters elevation.
The Tamil Nadu Government designated this area as part of the Cauvery North Wildlife Sanctuary in March 2014 under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.
The forest reserve maintains two traditional elephant corridors that connect multiple protected areas, forming an essential link in South India's conservation network.
The reserve receives between 700 to 900 millimeters of annual rainfall, with optimal visiting conditions during the cooler, drier months from October to February.
The forest reserve contains rare species like the rock-dwelling toad Bufo hololius and endangered plants such as Shorea roxburghii in its varied ecosystems.
