Kozhikode, Kerala, India
Janakikad is an ecologically rich and diverse forest area located in the Maruthongara village of Kozhikode. Spanning over 131 hectares, this ecotourism center is named after V. K. Janaki Amma, the sister of the famous Indian diplomat V. K. Krishna Menon. The forest is a part of the Western Ghats an d is home to more than 680 species of rare plants and herbs. It is a haven for nature lovers, bird watchers, and researchers. The Chavaramuzhi River flows through the heart of the forest, providing a serene soundtrack of gurgling water. The center is managed as a community-based tourism project, involving the local population in conservation efforts. Visitors can enjoy well-marked trekking trails that wind through dense tropical vegetation, where the canopy is so thick that sunlight barely reaches the forest floor. The air is exceptionally pure, and the area is known for its "forest bathing" experience which rejuvenates the mind and body. Along with its flora, Janakikad is home to various species of butterflies, orchids, and wild birds like the Malabar Grey Hornbill. The center emphasizes sustainable tourism, ensuring that the natural habitat remains undisturbed while providing an educational experience for visitors about the importance of forest ecosystems.
