How To Reach Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary

KHAMMAM, Telangana, India
A Biodiversity Hotspot: Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary spans across a massive 635.4 square kilometers of dense deciduous forest. It is a part of the legendary Dandakaranya forest, which holds significant mention in ancient Indian epics. The sanctuary is named after the Kinnerasani River, a tributary of the Godavari, which meanders through the landscape creating loops and islands. This sanctuary is a haven for a wide array of wildlife, including tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and wild dogs. The vegetation is a mix of southern dry deciduous forests featuring teak and bamboo. It was officially declared a sanctuary in 1981 to protect the endangered Marsh Crocodiles that breed in its lake. The terrain is characterized by hillocks, valleys, and perennial springs known as 'Togus'. It is a paradise for birdwatchers, with over 130 species of birds, including migratory ones that visit during the winter. The sanctuary offers a unique blend of land and water-based eco-tourism. Jeep safaris are available for those who want to venture deep into the forest to spot elusive predators. The sanctuary also houses a research lab established in 1985 to study animal behavior and health. The scenery is particularly breathtaking during the monsoon when the river is full and the forest is at its greenest. It provides a vital corridor for animal movement in the region. The peaceful environment is ideal for those looking to disconnect from modern life and reconnect with the wild.
