Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary in Telangana

Located 25 km from Bhadrachalam Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary sprawls across 157,010 acres of forest land, making it one of the region's most picturesque destinations. The sanctuary is renowned for its dense forests, which boast a rich variety of flora and fauna.

Kasani Wildlife Sanctuary features not only a stunning lake but also densely forested islands, further enhancing the area's allure and offering unique exploration opportunities. The sanctuary is dominated by dry deciduous forests with diverse tree species such as teak, bamboo, and other hardwoods, which are complemented by an abundant animal population. Notable wildlife includes blackbucks, wild boars, chinkaras, jackals, and tigers.

The ideal time to visit is from June to October, when the lush greenery creates a perfect backdrop, and the climate is most favourable. Visitation becomes challenging after October as animals retreat into their dens for the monsoon season.

Additional attractions within the sanctuary include Kinnerasani Lake, Deer Park, Eco Park, the Holiday Home Glass House, and the Environment Education Centre, each offering engaging activities that are particularly delightful for children.

The area, predominantly inhabited by tribal communities, also holds spiritual significance with ties to events from the Hindu epic, Ramayana, believed to have occurred here.

For those eager to immerse themselves in nature, birdwatching, jungle safaris, and nature photography are highly recommended.

To reach Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary, visitors can use public transportation or rent cabs from Bhadrachalam railway station or Hyderabad Airport.
