Thattekad, on the banks of the River Periyar near Kothamangalam, is a place of magical beauty. World famous Ornithologist Dr Salim Ali once referred to the area as the richest bird habitat in peninsular India. Despite modernisation and the resultant environmental degradation, Thattekad with its Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary still offers a glimpse of a wetland paradise peopled by splendid winged creatures.
