History Of Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary

Kannur, Kerala, India
Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary is a sprawling protected area covering 55 square kilometers on the western slopes of the Western Ghats. Established in 1984, it is the only wildlife sanctuary in the Kannur district and serves as a vital corridor for elephants and other large mammals. The sanctuary is char acterized by tropical evergreen and semi-evergreen forests, with the Cheenkanni River flowing through its heart. It is a biodiversity hotspot home to various species such as the Malabar Giant Squirrel, Sambar Deer, Wild Boar, and the elusive Leopard. For birdwatchers, Aralam is a paradise, hosting rare species like the Great Pied Hornbill and the Ceylon Frogmouth. The terrain is rugged, with the highest peak, Katti Betta, rising to about 1145 meters. The sanctuary also hosts a massive state-managed farm where various tropical crops are cultivated. Nature enthusiasts can engage in trekking programs organized by the forest department, which lead to the breathtaking Meenmutty Waterfalls. The sanctuary is also famous for its annual "Butterfly Migration," where thousands of butterflies can be seen fluttering through the forest. It provides a raw and untouched nature experience, far removed from the commercial tourist trails. Visiting Aralam offers a chance to disconnect and immerse oneself in the sounds of the jungle. The forest department maintains watchtowers that provide panoramic views of the entire green canopy of the Malabar region.
