Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary - History details

Declared in 1976 around the Idukki–Cheruthoni–Kulamavu reservoir, this 70–105 sq km mosaic of moist deciduous and semi‑evergreen forests sits 450–1,272 m asl. Boat cruises scan lake edges for elephant, sambar and Malabar giant squirrel; birdlife includes Malabar grey hornbill. Tribal heritage and the dramatic setting beneath the Idukki Arch Dam amplify its cultural‑ecological appeal.
