Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary
Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary is slowly turning into a location frequented by wildlife enthusiasts. Herds of elephants, gaur, sambar, barking deer, and wild boar can be seen here. People stop by this destination on the way to Ponmudi and are enchanted by the splendour of nature on display.
Endemic species like the Malabar Grey Hornbill, White-bellied Treepie, and the Small Sunbird have also been sighted here. Peppara Dam is where the sanctuary got its name and the trek here gives one a gorgeous panoramic view of the entire valley. It is a quaint little picnic spot that is attracting more visitors with each passing year.
Trek to Vazhvanthol falls
Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary offers one of the best trekking options in the capital city. This trek starts from Kaanithara, near Vithura and the initial trek, through eucalyptus plantations, could be easy. This 5 km not-so-hard trekking to Vazhvanthol is an amazing experience.
