Kerala: Thenmala Deer Rehabilitation Visit with Transfers

  • Thenmala
  • • Wildlife & Nature
  • • Duration 2 hour

Description

Visit the Deer Rehabilitation Centre at Thenmala, an ecotourism attraction established to provide a protected environment for deer that stray from forest areas. The centre is set within a forested landscape near the Kallada River and provides visitors with an opportunity to observe deer in a natural-looking, protected setting.
