Parambikulam Tiger Reserve
പറമ്പിക്കുളം കടുവാ സങ്കേതം
A Kerala tiger reserve connected to Anamalai, known for its eco-tourism packages, bamboo rafting and ancient teak trees.
Parambikulam lies on the Kerala side and forms a single contiguous area with the Anamalai reserve, yet it can only be entered through Topslip in Tamil Nadu. The reserve’s eco-tourism is run by the local community, offering jungle safaris, bamboo rafting, tree houses and island accommodation. The Kanimara, a giant teak tree estimated at about 400 years old, stands here. Wild elephants, Indian gaur, leopards and tigers are all found in the area. Packages must be booked in advance through the official website, and vehicle entry to the park is subject to time restrictions.
Opening hours
Approx. 07:00–16:00 (entry times per official site)
