eIndiaTourism.net National Parks in India Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary

Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary

Periyar Wildlife SanctuaryPeriyar is one of India's most picturesque reserves. A dam constructed on the Periyar river led to the submersion of a large forest area and the formation of a 55 sq km lake, which assured the local wildlife a perennial source of water. This led to the rapid growth of the park.

The Periyar Lake with an area of 26 sq. km. is the nucleus of the Tiger Reserve. Due to the diverticular shape, it caters to a much more extensive area of forest than would be possible if it was merely a compact lake.

The main prey base of tiger is sambar. The other prey animals of tiger are Indian bison and wild boar. Cattle in fringe area also forms an important prey base.

The Reserve is contiguous with Ranni extending up to Achancovil. The core area of the Reserve, 350 sq. km.
