Vallanadu Wildlife Sanctuary
Vallanadu Wildlife Sanctuary, located on an isolated hillock in Vallanadu Village of Srivaikundam Taluk, Thoothukudi district, Tamil Nadu, covers around 16.41 square kilometers. Established in 1987, it was specifically created to protect the endangered blackbuck antelope, which is recognized by its distinctive black and white coat.
The sanctuary features dry deciduous forest with thorny hardwood and xerophytic vegetation, such as Dalbergia, Acacia, and Azadirachta trees. In addition to blackbucks, the sanctuary is home to animals like monkeys, wildcats, macaques, jungle cats, and reptiles including vipers and rat snakes. Various bird species like horned owls, peafowls, sparrows, and crested-hawk eagles also inhabit this area.
Located about 35 km from Thoothukudi city, it offers a natural habitat important for wildlife conservation and is accessible for eco-tourism primarily during the cooler months from October to February.
