Parambikulam Tiger Reserve
Parambikulam Tiger Reserve, Nature reserve in Chalakkudy, India.
Description
Parambikulam Tiger Reserve is a protected forest area covering hilly terrain and dense woodlands across two districts. It contains several lakes and reservoirs that feed the landscape and support diverse forest ecosystems.
History
The area received protection as a wildlife sanctuary in 1973 and later became a tiger reserve in 2010. This expansion marked a significant change in how the land was managed and preserved.
Culture
Four indigenous communities live within the reserve and maintain deep roots connecting them to these forests and hills. They share their knowledge of the land with visitors as guides and companions on journeys through the landscape.
Practical
Visitors should arrange guided jungle safaris and forest walks with experienced local guides who know the terrain well. The drier months offer better conditions for exploring the paths and spotting wildlife.
Did you know?
The reserve is home to an ancient teak tree that is several hundred years old and has gained recognition for its historical importance. This tree stands as a symbol of the forest's botanical richness and age.
