Vettangudi Bird Sanctuary

Vettangudi Bird Sanctuary is a protected area containing three irrigation tanks that provide habitat for various bird species across a small area. The tanks and surrounding landscape create the water and vegetation needed for birds to live and feed.

The sanctuary was established in 1977 as a protected area for migratory birds traveling from northern regions. Since its creation, it has served as an important refuge where these traveling populations rest and feed.

The sanctuary draws bird watchers and nature lovers who come to observe bird life in its natural setting. For local communities, it represents the importance of protecting wildlife habitats for future generations.

The area is accessible by road from nearby towns and works best as a visit during the cooler months when bird activity is highest. Visitors should allow time for observation and wear suitable footwear as some paths may be uneven.

Many bird species use this location as a stopping point during their long journeys between Europe and Asia. The species present change with the seasons, making each visit a different experience for those who return.
