As the name suggests Pakshipathalam is the abode of numerous bird species flying in and around the area. The sanctuary is located on the Brahmagiri hills in the Western Ghats, Wayanad. It is the most secluded picnic spot that allures bird watchers and nature lovers. Pack your telescopes and you are off to the best bird sanctuary in the district. Residing amidst hilly terrains, green pastoral lands and dense forests Pakshipathalam is indeed a heavenly home for the birds and for the tourists. There are several secret caves inside the forests that further excite the visitors on their trip.
The famous Thirunelli Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu is near the bird sanctuary for an added pilgrim visit. An early morning trek to the bird sanctuary would be wonderful to hear the early chirping, buzzing and whistling sound travelling across the deadly silent dawn straight to your ears. Enjoying the music of the birds is an excellent experience indeed. There are options for over-the-night camping accompanied by guides. For all the offbeat travellers out there, choose this hidden gem of Wayanad for your next expedition. It is totally worth your time and effort.
