Rollapadu Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Kurnool district, India.
Rollapadu is a protected wildlife area in Andhra Pradesh featuring gently rolling plains covered with mixed forests and thorny vegetation. The terrain alternates between wooded patches and open grasslands in a dry, hot climate.
The sanctuary was established in 1988 to protect wildlife habitats in this region. It was created as a response to the need for preserving natural spaces against increasing human activity.
The sanctuary shapes daily life for nearby villages, where people have long coexisted with wildlife through traditional farming methods. Visitors notice how local communities work their fields while leaving space for animals to live.
The sanctuary is accessible from the nearby town of Nandikotkuru, which serves as a gateway to the area. It is helpful to check local conditions and the best season to visit before planning your trip.
A man-made water reservoir was specially built to provide drinking water for animals, while rainwater flows into natural collection points. This dual water system shows how people have worked to support wildlife in this dry region.
