Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected wildlife area in Telangana, India.

Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in eastern Telangana that spreads across zones of forests, grasslands, and water bodies. The landscape follows the Kinnerasani River and provides varied habitats for wildlife.

The sanctuary was established in 1977 to protect native species from increasing threats. Its creation enabled the formation of a connecting zone between several forest regions in the area.

The sanctuary takes its name from the Kinnerasani River, which flows beside it. In 2017 two black swans were brought in at a cost of three lakh rupees to draw visitors, and the lake now holds thousands of crocodiles. The Forest Department of Telangana handles inquiries and bookings for visits.

The sanctuary lies 15 km from Kothagudem, the district headquarters, and 25 km from the temple town of Bhadrachalam; the Telugu source gives 12 km from Palvancha. The Forest Department of Telangana handles inquiries and bookings, so arrange access through it before travelling. The terrain is dense scrub and meadow, and the lake with its forested islands sits in the middle of the reserve.

In 2017 two black swans were brought to the sanctuary at a cost of three lakh rupees to draw visitors. The lake now holds thousands of crocodiles, which were moved here after earlier crocodiles were transferred to Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad.
