Kurinjimala Sanctuary
Kurinjimala Sanctuary in Idukki, Kerala, is a protected natural area established in 2006 to conserve the unique ecosystem of the Western Ghats, particularly the endangered Neelakurinji flower, which blooms spectacularly every 12 years, covering the hills in blue-purple blossoms.
The sanctuary spans around 32 square kilometers in the Kottakamboor and Vattavada villages and serves as a habitat for various threatened species such as elephants, Nilgiri tahr, Indian bison (gaur), and deer. It is ecologically important as it provides connectivity with several nearby protected areas including Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, Eravikulam National Park, and Pampadum Shola National Park, creating a larger biodiversity hotspot that supports diverse flora and fauna.
The Kurinjimala Sanctuary is not only a vital conservation site but also draws nature lovers and tourists eager to witness the rare blooming event, celebrated with local cultural significance and promoting responsible tourism to protect this fragile environment.
