Why go
The Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary covers an area of barely 25 km2 (9.7 sq mi) and is located in Kerala state, India. It was the first bird sanctuary in Kerala described by Salim Ali as the richest bird habitat on peninsular India. Thattekkad literally means flat forest, and the region is a deciduous but generally moist low-land forest surrounding the Periyar River, the longest river in Kerala.
