Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary Tourism

Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary, also known as Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, is situated in the northeast region of Kerala, bordering Karnataka. It is part of the Wayanad Plateau and plays a crucial role in conserving the biodiversity of the Western Ghats. Established in 1973, Tholpetty is a part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve alongside neighboring protected areas such as Bandipur National Park in Karnataka and Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu. The sanctuary's dense forests are home to various species of plants, birds, and animals, including elephants, bisons, tigers, and leopards. The sanctuary's water bodies are particularly attractive to birds and animals alike. Visitors can embark on a safari journey to witness the rich wildlife and exotic plant species in their natural habitat. The watchtower near the lake provides a strategic viewpoint for animal sightings. Tholpetty provides an unparalleled opportunity for nature lovers to immerse themselves in the serenity of the forest while contributing to the conservation efforts of the region.
