Pakshipathalam Bird Sanctuary

Pakshipathalam Bird Sanctuary sits deep within the Brahmagiri hills, offering a habitat for a range of bird species alongside some rarer plants found in this part of the Western Ghats. Rock cut caves scattered through the terrain add an extra point of interest for visitors willing to make the trip. The sanctuary's remote setting makes it a favourite among campers and serious birdwatchers rather than casual day trippers, and access typically requires forest department permission.
