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 Kerala Wildlife 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…
