Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary

An urban mangrove forest in Kochi city, a protected sanctuary for migratory and resident bird species.

A remarkable urban mangrove forest right in the middle of Kochi city, Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary is a rare ecological pocket covering just 2.74 hectares yet supporting a surprisingly diverse range of migratory and resident bird species. Declared a protected sanctuary in 2004, it serves as a critical stopover for birds on the Central Asian Flyway. For birdwatchers and nature lovers, it offers a peaceful and unexpected escape from the urban bustle just minutes from the city center.
