The Region
Kerala, a little sliver of land at the tip of the Indian peninsula, the
land of the green magic, is a region of tropical forests,
grasslands, rivers, lakes & lagoons which manifests in the huge
bio-diversity of its flora & fauna. The abundant rainfall and the excessive
humidity are responsible for the effects of climate and greenery which is
the most distinctive part of Kerala compared to neighbouring states. Kerala
is home to nearly 500 species of birds, of which 16 are endemic. Spread
across the state's forests & backwaters are some of the best birding places
found anywhere in South Asia.
Most birding hot spots in Kerala are in the
periphery of wildlife sanctuaries and national Parks. There are exciting
resorts and forest lodges near these birding areas. We have taken care to
formulate the itineraries taking into consideration density of bird life and
comfortable accommodation and excellent tour leaders who are renowned the
world over for their local birding knowledge. We have also identified less
well known places which make for excellent birding destinations, notably in
the Kalakkad-Mundanthurai region and Arippa near Trivandrum. |
