Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary This National Park in Kerala offers a scintillating sight of rare wild animals. The area has quite a few hill tribes here like Malayars, Kadas, and Muthuvaas. This wildlife sanctuary has some marshy land and scattered patches of grassland, thickly forested with stands of bamboo, sandalwood, rosewood, and teak. Here you can find little remains of the original teak forests, other than the famous Kannimari teak tree, the largest in Asia as teak plantations. The tree is about 5 km from Thunakadavu, and is one of the prime attractions at the Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary. |

On your tour to Kerala you can visit the Parambikulam
Wildlife Sanctuary, which has the largest population of Gaurs (bison). It is
also a home to elephants, sloth bears, wild boars, sambhars, chital tigers,
panthers, and crocodiles. There are also bonnet macaques, spectacled cobras,
kraits, vipers, turtles, darters, little cormorants, and black eagles.
Parambikulam is open throughout the year, but is best avoided during the
monsoon. Between June and August, the monsoon rains lash, making hillsides
unstable and causing slush, mosquitoes, drippy roofs and other nuisances. |
