Description

Periyar National Park Wildlife

Periyar National Park is situated in the hills of the Western Ghats in the state of Kerala in south-west India. The centrepiece of Periyar National Park is the 5,500-hectare Periyar Lake, formed by the construction of a dam on the Periyar River in 1895.

The dam submerged a low-lying forest whose dead tree trunks are still just out of the water. Along the fringes of the lake are marshy areas with tall grasslands. This is one of the richest habitats for large mammals, as it provides both excellent cover and nourishment in the form of succulent shoots and grasses.Periyar, South India’s most popular wildlife sanctuary, encompasses 777 sq. km, with a 26 sq. Km artificial lake created by the British in 1895.
