KERALA CITIES - PERIYAR /THEKKADY |
|
One of the oldest wildlife sanctuaries in
India, Periyar National Park and Tiger Reserve was established
in the verdant stretches of Kerala in 1895 and declared a Tiger
Reserve in 1978. The Periyar Widlife Sanctuary covers an area of
777 sq km, out of which 360 sq km is under thick and dense
evergreen forests. Surrounded by the dense forests, it is quite
popular for the Periyar Lake. An ideal habitat for Indian
Elephant, you can see this mighty herbivore living in accord
with the ferocious carnivore - Tiger - in the national park.
Whereas the wooded hills and the forest provide shelter to the
resident animals, the Periyar Lake is the vast water resource,
which quenches their thirst anytime and every time. |
