We at Cardamom County go

The Periyar Tiger Reserve
situated within the confines
of the Western Ghats in
the Southern Indian state
of Kerala, is one of the
most captivating wildlife
parks in the world. The
picturesque lake in the
heart of the sanctuary spans
an area of 55 sq km. This
lake, which initially led
to the submersion of large
tracts of forestland, however
became an excellent sanctuary
for wildlife, which includes
Asiatic elephants, gaur
(bison), tigers, leopards
and bears among others.
In 1975 Periyar forests
were declared as a tiger
reserve under the Project
Tiger. Thekkady, the tourist
zone of Periyar Tiger Reserve,
is the embarkation point
for visits to various parts
of the park on boats for
wildlife viewing. The terrain
ranges from hilly to flat
grassland areas at the edges
of the lakes. The vegetation
is of moist evergreen type. |
