The Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary, located in the southern state of Kerala, India, is a protected area that covers an area of 128 square kilometres in the southeast corner of the Western Ghats. The sanctuary is the drainage basin for the Neyyar River and its tributaries, Mullayar and Kallar. The towering peak of Agasthyamalai, at an elevation of 1868 metres, is a prominent landmark within the sanctuary. The sanctuary also is an abode for 176 species of birds, 30 species of reptiles, 17 species of amphibians, and 40 species of fish. It has a diverse flora, making it an ideal gene pool preserve. It is home to 39 species of mammals, including tigers, leopards, sloth bears, elephants, sambar deer, barking deer, bonnet macaques, Nilgiri langurs, and Nilgiri tahr. The park also boasts of the Asian Elephant, Slender Loris and reptiles like the King Cobra, Travancore Tortoise. One can also chance upon a deer park, crocodile farm and a rehabilitation centre for elephants in the sanctuary. The state government is currently considering a proposal to convert the now-defunct Neyyar wildlife park into a mini safari park. The sanctuary offers facilities for tourists to visit the lion park and boat on the Neyyar lake.
