Reviews Of Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary

Idukki, Kerala, India
General Overview: The Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary is a sprawling protected area that blankets the hills surrounding the Idukki reservoir. Established in 1976, the sanctuary covers an area of approximately 77 square kilometers of dense tropical evergreen and deciduous forests. It is home to a rich vari ety of wildlife, including large herds of elephants, sambar deer, wild boars, and the occasional tiger or leopard. The sanctuary is unique because it is cradled by the Periyar and Cheruthoni rivers, with the reservoir providing a perennial water source for the animals. This geography makes boat safaris the best way to explore the sanctuary, as animals frequently come down to the water’s edge to drink. Birdwatchers will find this place particularly rewarding, with sightings of the Malabar Grey Hornbill, woodpeckers, and various species of bulbuls being common. The terrain is undulating and rugged, offering several trekking trails for adventure enthusiasts. The sanctuary plays a vital role in the conservation of the Western Ghats' biodiversity and serves as a green lung for the region. The peaceful environment, away from the hustle of city life, makes it a perfect spot for soul-seeking travelers and nature photographers. The canopy of the forest remains thick throughout the year, keeping the air cool and refreshing even during the warmer months. It is an integral part of the Idukki tourism circuit, offering a glimpse into the wild heart of Kerala.
