Nice place to hang out with friends and family... Calm place.... & relax place
Bird sanctuary surrounded by Kochi metropolitan city. It is a good place for bird watching. Lot of migrating birds visit this small sanctuary every year. Many species of Mangrove trees are here.
Area is small but silent. It is a wonder that there is a place like this in the middle of a city this. Very beautiful. I loved it.
If you wanna go back to your old times or if you wanna feel fresh air and calm in the middle of city you should visit this place. Cause this place is capable to provide those. Well it's opens at 9 am to 5 pm.its close to high court and marine drive. It's a better place to bring young kids and family. If you are nostalgic about your village life you may visit this place. If the authority could take Care of this place it may look more beautiful because it's ain't have proper path to walk. But I just felt soo relaxed when I visited this place
Maybe referred to as the green lung of Cochin. A very peaceful place with lots of exotic trees and birds. You will definitely spot some migratory birds and rare tree species. Beware of the notorious mosquitoes if you are visiting this place during evening hours. Everything is perfect apart from the mosquitoes.
quiet place to sit and watch the birds or to feel the nature
