Wildlife Sanctuaries In Kerala

There are several wildlife sanctuaries in Kerala . Wildlife in Kerala is abundant, with occasional glimpses of rare flora and fauna at any of the several national parks and wildlife sanctuaries of the state. It is the only state where one can find the highest number of Indian elephants. The evergreen forests of Kerala is the ideal breeding grounds for some of the most vicious as well as some of the most gentle animals and reptiles, such as panthers, foxes, king cobras, sloth bears,  crocodiles,  leopards,  fruit bats, sambars, lion tailed macaques and tigers. Even butterflies are in abundance here, especially if you visit the Parambikulam Tiger Reserve, which houses more than 124 types of butterflies. Imagine a landscape awash in color, with the fluttering wings of hundreds of vibrantly colored butterflies.

The best national parks and sanctuaries to visit include the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, the Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary, Periyar National Park, Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary, Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary, Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary, Salim Ali Bird Sacntuary, Eravikulam National Park, Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary, Anamalai Wildlife Sanctuary, Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, Parambikulam Tiger Reserve and Silent Valley. Safaris are the best way to spend time exploring the area around you.

Adventurous Wildlife Sanctuaries in Kerala

Kerala is not just famous for its beaches and cruises, there is one more thing that tourists love about this place, and that is the wildlife. It is home to some of the best wildlife sanctuaries in the country.

Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary – Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the Western Ghat Hills, and is known to be one of the most thrilling wildlife destinations in the state and country. This sanctuary has more than 1800 species of plants, 171, species of grass, around 35 mammal species, and approximately 265 bird species. No wonder why this sanctuary is one of the most amazing sanctuaries in Kerala. It is not incorrect to say that this is a place which is close to the heart of many tourists.

Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary – It has been considered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and is situated in Kerala’s Palakkad district. The rich flora and fauna entices tourists, and also the fact that four local tribes constructed their colonies in this sanctuary. Tourists can find 39 mammal species, 16 amphibian species, 268 types of birds, and 124 varieties of butterflies.

Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary – This sanctuary is located between Periyar and Cheruthoni, and is covered with lush green forests. Tourists visiting this place can enjoy boat rides and explore the beautiful view of the nature and wildlife like Wild Dogs, Tigers, Sambhars, to name a few.

Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary – Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary is also considered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is located on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border in Idukki District. Its sharp scrub jungle makes it different and unique from the other sanctuaries. Apart from the scrub jungle, tourists are also attracted by the popular sandalwood forests, nature walks, waterfalls, camping and trekking within the sanctuary. Tourists can also climb up to the watchtowers, and take a glimpse of the wild animal species.

    Mahip's 4 days trip to Kerala

    The only issue I faced was at the Hotel when I arrived at Thiruvananthapuram, because I was not told about the check in time of the Hotel, because of which I had to pay an extra amount of 1k for early check in, Travel Agent did help me in this. All the flight bookings were done in this regard only t
    hat we shall be getting an instant check in. Alleppey Boat house was also not up to mark it felt very ordinary for the price we paid, it could have been better in same price.Other than this it went smooth for us, our cab driver was very nice and professional. #You can also add some local food cuisine itinerary in the packages. Alleppey Boat house stay.

    Jaspreet's 6 days trip to Kerala

    I recently booked a customized travel package from Bangalore to Mysore, Ooty, Coonoor, Kannur, Mahe Pondicherry, and Coorg through Travel Triangle’s associate agency, *Book It Forget It*, and had a truly enjoyable experience. Mr. Sahil, the travel agent assigned to us, was fantastic to work with—ver
    y understanding, professional, and experienced. He curated the itinerary exactly according to our preferences, ensuring everything was well-planned and smooth. The transportation arranged for us was top-notch. We had a clean, spacious car with great air conditioning and a friendly, well-behaved driver who not only drove safely but also acted as a helpful guide throughout the trip. His knowledge of local places made our journey more insightful and comfortable. Out of the four hotels we stayed in, two were excellent—one of them was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. The other two hotels, while not quite up to the mark, didn’t take away from the overall experience. I’d just recommend confirming the hotel details and photos in advance to avoid any surprises. The payment process was smooth, secure, and hassle-free, which made things even more convenient. Overall, it was a memorable and well-organized trip. I would definitely consider booking future travel packages with *Book It Forget It*, and I’d happily recommend them to others. Just ensure you double-check your hotel options beforehand. A big thanks to Mr. Sahil and the team for making our holiday so enjoyable!

    Meaakashu's 5 days trip to Kerala

    My parents went on a trip to kerela which couldn't have been planned better by them. Perfect customary itenary, and Mahima did everything to make this trip safe and memorable for them. Took care of minute details, like stays, perfect driver (who was more of a tour guide and made sure the family enjo
    yed each of the places). The stay in Allepey (Kondalip) instead of staying in the usual boathouse was the highlight and wise decision suggested by Mahima. The stay in Munnar was sumptuous!

    A Memorable and Perfectly Planned Kerala Trip – Thank You Comfort Destination & Ms. Kiran! We recently completed a wonderful and unforgettable family trip to Kerala, all thanks to Comfort Destination and the amazing coordination by Ms. Kiran. From the very beginning, Kiran ma'am took personal care
    in understanding our preferences and curated a perfect itinerary that balanced comfort, sightseeing, and relaxation. Her selection of beautiful resorts and scenic spots truly made our journey special. A big shoutout to Mr. Hashim, our cab driver, who was not only professional and punctual but also warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made our travel smooth and enjoyable throughout the trip. We sincerely thank the entire Comfort Destination team for their dedication and support. Special appreciation goes again to Ms. Kiran, whose planning and efforts made our Kerala experience memorable and successful. We’re short of words to express how satisfied and happy we are. If you are planning a Kerala trip, we highly recommend going through Comfort Destination — and do request for your trip to be arranged by Ms. Kiran.

    Jaipur

    Rimmie's 6 days trip to Kerala

    Well, No doubt they presented a very good deal. We had opted only for a car to take us to various places in Kerala. The communication was good and swift and clear. Just that the car that arrived did not have a carrier and was not spacious enough for 5 people. Our mood was all spoiled right at the st
    art of the trip, as carrier and space for 5 was very clearly communicated to the agent several times. As a redressal, they said that they will provide a new car but on the next day and that we need to adjust in this car only for that particular day. Now why should we manage ? How difficult was it to arrange a separate small car for going from Kochi airport to Fort Kochi. This whole case wasted our 3 hours, and thank god we had a stay nearby where we could rest, else we would have been stranded on the airport. I cannot comment on how their services would be for accommodations and all, but a car was all they had to arrange, and they flawed. After a lot of heated discussions, they finally arranged the expected car, and the driver was really good, and we had a very nice time thereafter. So if you can ignore this incident, go ahead with them, as the prices and the itinerary were great.
