Abhayaranyam mini zoo is a part of ecotourism project which started its plan in the year 2010 and launched at 18th February 2011. This project mainly aimed at rehabilitation all the animals from Kodanad Elephant training center which is 2 kilometers away from the current location. Kodanad Elephant training center covered only an area of 2.5 acres along the banks of the River Periyar and the number of animals in the area kept increasing .Hence there aroused certain complaints that the animals inside the zoo are tightly packed and there were no sufficient space for the animals to freely roam around. This was the reason for the relocation to the new mini zoo Abhayaranyam.

ReplyDeleteWe visited the place earlier, and loved it. A peaceful place where you can have some nice time without the crowd.

can anyone explain about the flora and fauna at this place??
ReplyDeleteWe had a great visit - the zoo is about 30 min. from the airport. There are two herds of Spotted dear and two herds of Sambar deer and 8 elephant - 4 male and 4 females. Some were being rehabbed from injuries. We watched them bath and scrub the elephants - which happens at about 9:30 every day in the nearby river. They had one wild elephant in a wooden cage that they were still working to domesticate. You can get close to the elephant but I think they frown on you touching them. All in all I think you could spend a couple of enjoyable hours in the zoo.
ReplyDeleteThe worst place for family to visit. The security staff misbehaved with us on car parking issues.When we tried to complain against him to the officials, the security even didn't allow to open our car door and get down. One of the officials in civil dress stood silent. Also, when we questioned the security staff for his misbehaving in front of everyone, he called his friend in that locality and that friend came to argue with us in front of that official, he stood silent,which really surprised us. Really, the worst place for family to visit
