Parambikulam Wildlife

The habitat of Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary varies from natural to manmade; the man- made habitats being Teak plantations and cultivation of Eucalyptus and Tapioca in newly cleared areas. The evergreen patches in the valleys and moist regions account for the Malabar elements. Situated 600m above sea level, in the Palghat district of Kerala, the Parambikulam sanctuary borders the Anamalai Wildlife Sanctuary of Tamilnadu, Nelliampathy Reserve and Vazhachal and Sholayar ranges. The climatic conditions at the sanctuary are salubrious and the temperature ranges from 38 to 21 degree Celsius. Though open throughout the year, it is suggested to skip monsoon season for a visit.
