Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary - Tourist attraction in Kochi, Ernakulam - Ernakulam, India

I don't think this place a Bird sanctuary as I couldn't see a single bird even a crow. You can find a lot of mosquitoes and some couples sitting here and there. Not a worthy place to visit. Also the surroundings are not at all maintained properly. The entry fee is just 10/- per head.

The sanctuary has a lush green environment that showcases a noticeable temperature difference upon entry. However, the upkeep of the sanctuary leaves something to be desired. With proper maintenance, it could become an ideal destination for tranquility and escape from the bustling city life. The entrance fee is priced at rupees 10 per person. During my visit, I encountered only a few crows and bats, possibly due to unfortunate timing on my part.

Not even one star . Why is this place even open Charged 10 rs per person entry ticket . the place is not maintained and the tower is closed . they can charge higher and maintain the place . It just had a 5 min walk inside and that is all . I was not able to see birds except bats. Maybe it should be named bat sanctuary . jokes aside if maintained and if there is a longer pathway then people can enjoy some peace in the city. The place has a good potential for that.

Such a large forest within the city is a miracle. But it seemed that it was not maintained properly. There is nothing special to see except some greenery. Called a bird sanctuary, only crows and bats can be seen directly there. Some other pictures of birds have been printed. Adjacent to this bird sanctuary is the old railway station of Ernakulam, which is historically important and is being destroyed by forest. If it is properly maintained, it will be a tourist place.

Pathetic place. Doesn't have much to see. No clear cut walking lanes. 2 or 3 benches. Only a few metres from its entrance is an accessible area. Rest all have no roads or anything. The ones are full of mud and unable to walk. The toilet is there inside. 10rs for entry. Max 3 hrs inside per ticket, but no one really checks. But honestly I'm so disappointed. Just went and got out in just less than 3 minutes. Useless waste of time

More opportunities for eco-tourism development is there. When I visited there,the watch tower was not functioning and when asked they said it was broken for long time. Some boats were there upside down position, i don't know their purpose is. It's a favorite spot for loving couples, we can see many there.

Unfortunately it's not a bird sanctuary. Not maintained properly. Bird watching tower is damaged and entry is restricted. It's a calm place and only a good place for couples. And also 10 rs for entry for seeing such trees and some

Absolutely enchanted by the bird sanctuary! The serene ambience and diverse avian species create a captivating experience. A paradise for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Best experience.
