Thattekad Bird Sanctuary

Set beside the Periyar River, Thattekad is one of Kerala’s most rewarding destinations for nature lovers and birdwatchers. The surrounding lowland forests and plantations harbour an extraordinary variety of birdlife, including endemic species such as the Malabar grey hornbill, Malabar parakeet and SriLanka frogmouth. Early morning walks reveal a landscape alive with birdsong, butterflies and forest sounds, while gentle trails lead through a lush mosaic of woodland, streams and plantations.

Thattekad is one of main spots for a truly rewarding off-beat experience where our team can offer you some unique walks, kayaking and local experiences.
