Chimmini Wildlife Sanctuary
This paradise of nature boasts diverse types of forest cover – semi-evergreen, evergreen, and moist deciduous. Another alluring aspect of the park is the dam, which was constructed on the River Chimmini and has also led to the formation of a beautiful lake.
Located in the Mukundapuram taluk of Thrissur District, the Chimmini Wildlife Sanctuary provides ample opportunities for clubbing a wildlife tour along with adventure tourism. Trekking and camping in the middle of the lush and serene environment of the park, among the creatures of the wild, promises one of the most thrilling holidays.
Chimmini Wildlife Sanctuary is spread over an area of 87 sq km and surrounded by two other wildlife sanctuaries on two sides. The rain forest consists of many species of animals including Lion-tailed macaque, Panther, Tiger, Wild Bison, Elephants, Bonnet macaque, and Malabar squirrel.
If you are lucky you may also see two of the largest butterflies of India, Southern Birdwing or Blue Mormon.
