Pallikkaranai Wet Land


Pallikkaranai Wetland stands as the sole remaining wetland ecosystem within Chennai city limits, covering just 80 square kilometers today. In the past, its expanse was far greater. This marshland hosts a more diverse range of bird species than even the Vedantangal bird sanctuary. Regrettably, the count of observable bird species here diminishes with each passing year. Tragically, the wetland has suffered extensive encroachment, including the construction of an IT Park by the Government. Consequently, one is now more likely to encounter apartment complexes than the once-abundant birdlife in this wetland.

Happy travelling!
