The Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Western Ghats and is part of the Idukki District. This region is very populated with a great variety of native flora and fauna, which makes it a fashionable tourist destination. Chinnar hosts a wide variety of medicinal plants, and its animal population includes species such as the gray squirrel, the star turtle, the gaur, the spotted deer, the gray tufted langur, the slender loris, the crocodile, the wild elephant, the tiger, the leopard and many birds. If animals and plants fascinate you, then there is no better way to familiarize yourself with them than to visit the Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary. Since it is an enclosure protected by the government, you can experience the flora and fauna in their natural habitat, without interruptions due to the city’s uproar. The mixed deciduous forests found here are ideal for some rudimentary trekking as well. Rich in its diversity, this destination is a delightful learning experience for children and adults alike.
