Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected area in Kannur District, Kerala, India
The sanctuary encompasses 55 square kilometers of forest terrain on the western slopes of the Western Ghats, featuring elevations from 650 to 1150 meters.
The sanctuary was established in 1984 by transforming sections of the Odanthode Malavaram forest from the Thalassery special division into a protected wildlife reserve.
The forest territory connects with Karnataka's Kodagu district, creating a natural corridor for wildlife movement between the two South Indian states.
Visitors can access the sanctuary through roads from Thalasseri or Kannur, with accommodation options including a two-room guest house and a 50-bed dormitory.
The sanctuary records annual rainfall reaching 5000 millimeters, supporting specialized vegetation in the hill folds and hosting 188 bird species.
