Kerala Wildlife
Kerala in South India also called God's Own Country. It is a jewel in the map
of south India and it is also the home to many rare and special forms of animal,
bird and marine life. The wildlife sanctuaries in Kerala provide refuge to different
forms of wildlife in Kerala and provide tourists with an opportunity to see
these rare creatures in their natural surroundings.
There are different species that were endangered but they have been very well
preserved here and taken care of in these surroundings. And nothing could be
better than to see these wild animals in their natural surroundings.
After all who doesn’t love to see the big cat languish its prey just after
a fresh kill or who doesn’t like to watch the beautiful chirpy little birds
take flight to the sky and soar high up in the air. That’s how wild it
can get and we are sure if you a lover of the wild then you would definitely
not want to miss it by any chance. And incase you do miss it there is always
a next chance waiting to be explored.
Some of the unique wild animals that tourists can see on tours of Kerala,
with Kerala Backwater are elephants, Nilgiri Tahr, tigers, leopards, lion-tailed
macaque, deer, monkeys, civet cats, squirrels including the Malabar giant
squirrel. You can see different varieties of birds including woodpeckers,
Malabar hornbills, kingfishers, cormorants, darters, plovers, and brahminy
kites along the backwaters of Kerala.
You're also likely to see many species of butterflies and moths, flutter by
as you float along a Kerala Backwater. On the shoreline you can see many species
of crabs, mudskippers, turtles and deeper in the water you can see fish and
even crocodiles.
So lets discover the journey from the rugged land of The Dangs in Gujarat,
the Western Ghats run along the southwestern strip of India for almost 1,600km.
They rise to their apogee and form the most striking geographical feature
on their journey through Kerala.
Situated within the folds of the Western Ghats, Kerala is home to some of
India’s more noteworthy national parks and wild life reserves. Forests
cover 24% of the state’s area, and 5.9% of the region falls under ‘protected
land’, with a total of 24 national parks and wildlife reserves.
Nestled in lush forest of the Western Ghats in Kerala are fourteen wildlife
sanctuaries all keeping and maintaining their wildlife for people like you
and me to watch and enjoy.
And skirting these exotic destinations are some of the most delightful trekking
trails in the country. Some of them adventurously exciting, others enchanting
in equal measure and adding to flavor of this mood is the fresh smell of endless
acres of plantations.Tea, coffee, cardamom, vanilla, pepper, oranges, mangoes…
