Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary
This sanctuary is located at Tholpettah, 59 kms. from Kalpettai.It was a wonderful discovery of the fauna and flora of the lush green jungles with tall trees and groups of bamboo trees, in the jeeps of the forest department,escorted by forest guides.The humming of the insects was pleasant to hear and mountain squirrels were spotted on the trees.Several groups of spotted deer,on hearing the sound of the vehicle would run for a few metres to be safe and then give a look at us. The tigers eluded us but their pug marks were visible on the muddy path.An elephant with its calf seemed to relaxing at a distance.The moving of the bamboo trees in the wind was weird and musical.It was a real retreat into the world of Nature and entirely different and enchanting than the sanctuaries visited earlier.
Kuruwa Island :
Again simply exotic was this uninhabitated island, either accessible by boat or by crossing the river Kuruwa.This wooded strech of land,thick with green vegetation and bamboo trees is the home to the rare species of birds,herbs and orchids.Walking through the enchanting woods for a distance of nearly a kilometre, we reached the river,where a bath was most refreshing.Inside this island,amazing was another island, to be reached by boat or by crossing the river.
Banasura Dam :
Awestruck,were we by the grandeur of this dam,said to be the largest in Asia and the second largest in India.Boating across the background of tha dam was superb.
