Indira Gandhi National Park is a wildlife sanctuary located in the Annamalai Hills of Tamilnadu state, India. Named after Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the park is sometimes called Topslip, a name which it derived from the practice of sliding timber from the hills in the olden days. The park is home to a variety of flora and fauna.
