Kannimara Teak - History details

Within Parambikulam Tiger Reserve stands the legendary Kannimara Teak—among the world’s largest living teak trees. Recent measurements recorded ~41.83 m height and 7.24 m girth, with an estimated age near 500 years; it received India’s Mahavriksha Puraskar in 1994. Revered by tribal communities as a ‘virgin tree’, it’s reached on guided safaris, symbolizing Palakkad’s deep forest heritage and conservation success.
