Krishna Wildlife Sanctuary

Krishna Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in the Krishna River delta region, encompassing wetlands, mudflats, and mangrove forests. The space includes different habitat types that support both migratory and resident wildlife species.

The area received official protection in 1996 to safeguard the wetland ecosystems. This action created an important corridor for native and migratory species across the delta region.

The fishing communities living along the river maintain traditional ways of working the water that have existed for generations and fit with the sanctuary's conservation goals.

The best time to watch birds and wildlife is between November and March, when migratory species arrive in large numbers. Visitors should come early in the morning or at dusk to see animals at their most active.

The sanctuary houses more than 300 bird species and serves as critical habitat for the Indian marsh crocodile in its tidal estuaries. These crocodiles make their home in the shallow waters and are seen regularly by visitors.
