Chimmini Wildlife Sanctuary - History details

Established in 1984 across about eighty‑five square kilometres, Chimmini protects the western slopes of the Nelliyampathy Hills in Thrissur, draining the Kurumali and Mupliam rivers and rising to Punda Peak at 1,116 metres. The Chimmini Dam forms a scenic reservoir for guided treks and seasonal coracle rides from October to March, and contiguous forests with Peechi–Vazhani and nearby Parambikulam improve habitat connectivity for Western Ghats species.
