Sri Lankamalleswara Wildlife Sanctuary

The sanctuary spans across hilly terrain with dense forests, creating natural habitats for numerous species of animals including leopards and native birds.

The protected area, established in 1978, takes its name from the adjacent Lord Sri Lankamalleswara temple, which predates the sanctuary by several centuries.

Local communities maintain traditional practices of forest resource management while participating in conservation efforts alongside sanctuary officials to protect endangered species.

The sanctuary operates guided tours from October to March, when temperatures range between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, making wildlife observation more comfortable.

Research stations within the sanctuary study medicinal plants used in traditional healing practices, documenting their properties and monitoring their populations.
