Description
Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area featuring dry forests, open grasslands, and river systems spread across varying elevations. The landscape combines these different ecosystems to create habitats for numerous animal and plant species.
History
The government established this sanctuary in 1984 to protect the natural habitats and the wildlife living there. This action marked an important moment for conservation in the region.
Culture
The people living near the sanctuary have long depended on hunting and gathering in the surrounding forests. These traditions remain visible in how local communities interact with the land and the wildlife that shares their territory.
Practical
Visitors can walk on marked trails, use watchtowers to observe wildlife, and stay at camping sites throughout the area. The best time to visit is between October and March when conditions are most favorable.
Did you know?
The sanctuary connects to a neighboring national park through mountain ranges that serve as a natural corridor for animals to move between protected areas. This hidden link allows wildlife to migrate freely between the two reserves.
