Thattekad Bird Sanctuary, Thattekad

Love birds? Then, your trip to Munnar is pointless without dropping by the Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary {also known as the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary}. It was the first bird sanctuary {it’s a 2-hour drive from Munnar} to be established in Kerala and India’s favourite ornithologist, Salim Ali, described it as “richest bird habitat in peninsular India”. Need we say more? On treks guided by forest authorities, you can spot Orange Headed Thrushes, Whiskered Terns, Oriental Darters, Jerdon’s Nightjars, and a variety of cuckoo birds.

Navya considers herself to be the Cassandra of the 21st century – no one ever listens to the wisdom that she so willingly imparts. This is the only Greek tragedy element in her otherwise happy life. She’s got her Husband Charming, has perfected the art of sarcasm, is always fed copious amounts of good food, and is well on her way to self-actualization.
