A diverse avian world

Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary boasts over two and a half centuries of history within its lush 74 acres of landscape. This remarkable sanctuary owes its fertility to local communities who first recognised water mixed with bird droppings as a natural fertiliser; since then they have lovingly protected this oasis, creating a thriving ecosystem and stunning surroundings.

Bird flights become visible from November on, and the nesting season winds down in March. Established by the British in 1936, it has over hundreds of bird species, both resident and migratory, flocking through its sanctuary.
