Chulanur Peafowl Sanctuary

Wonderful sanctuary with many peafowls. Clustered Bamboos are the main attracton. So ecofriendly. Lot of information can be gathered from each and every corner.

Nice place - Plan to visit early morning - Wrong google location

First things first, the Google location is not correct. I have requested an edit (May 2019), Not sure if and when it will get approved. Search for the butterfly park to get the actual location

Well worth a visit. We could spot only one bird, but we were told that we could spot many more if we visit morning.

Apart from the there is a medicinal garden and a good trekking. There is a dormitory for people to stay. I did not step inside that and hence I have no information on who good it is

This peafowl Sanctuary is located in chulannur in Palakkad district of Kerala ,India . Probably the only one India of this kind . Best time to visit early morning or in the evening so that you can see lots of peacock around this place . Better to visit with maximum two people . More you make noise the chance of watching the peacock will be less . Avoid carrying plastic items to the sanctuary when you are visits the place . Carry enough water and small snacks with you for your conception while you traveling to this place , because it’s all about lots of walking inside the park and there is no restaurant or coffee shop near by the sanctuary . Entry is free for the public to visit the sanctuary.

Very calm and peaceful location. There is a small reception where you have to enter the details before entering into the main zone. There is a small garden also. Not a big place but nice place to sit and enjoy some greenery. Roads are decent. Parking is available.

Nice small place. There is info about various tree. Location was confusing in Google map but we got the help from the locals there. Good people. The butterfly garden is small but it's fine.

It's an ok place to visit...but nothing was there during our visit

Nothing was maintained

And they told we are not allowed to go inside after covid

So all we did was to take a pic in front of the boards and came back disappointed

Mayiladumpara, popularly known as Choolannur Peafowl Sanctuary, is the only peacock shelter and is located in Palakkad district of Kerala. Spread over 500 hectares, to reach the sanctuary requires a trek through dense forests. However, once you reach the place you will be captivated by the radiant beauty of this kingly species. The area is well maintained and the best times to view these exotic birds are during dawn and dust.
