Deer Park Thenmala — Attraction in Kerala

Worth spending time 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻 Deer Park is an eco tourism park situated in the dense woods of the Kallada river side forest in Thenmala. Sprinkled with green trees, the park has a large population of wild deer that roam around freely. Blessed with tinkering waterfalls and rope swings, the park is a perfect place to celebrate picnics and have a good time. There is also a cafe where you can tend to your hunger pangs. Among the most spotted animals are deer, sambar and chital etc. Various walking routes into the forests can be seen and if you a group of people with plenty of time to spend here no harm in walking into the park forests. What you will witness for sure in these forests in big treesof the western ghats and most of them with a name board fixed by the park authorities, So that you won't end up disappointed thinking of what tree this can be. In the deer park you can see Barking deer (Kezha Maan in Malayalam), Sambar Deer (Mlave), Spotted deer [Chittal, Cheetal, Axis deer, Pulli Maan in Malayalam]. The forest in deer rehabilitation centre is a collection of huge trees and many of them are having interesting trunk shapes. The deers are fenced inside the forested land and you can walk around the fence and watch for the deers. Deer herds can be seen around the water tanks near to the fencings.

I would give 5 stars to the deer park near Thenmala and 0 stars to the administration there. Five stars because the park is such a nice place to visit. for children and for those who have not that familiar with forest life gets good opportunity to see forest closely through the adventure walk of 800 metres which ends near the entrance i.e. a half an hour walk around the park.

Zero stars for the administration because we saw a person trying to use the toilet in urgency and there was not a drop of water in the toilet or the toilets nearby and we had to see the person requesting those waiting outside for a piece of toilet paper to clean himself !!!!! There were four toilets and there were twigs and waste in the toilets.

When we complained at the Ticket Counter the girl sitting inside said they clean the toilets every day !!!!!! They had no answer for absence of water.

All people standing there wondered how a foreign tourist would be embarrassed if he/she visits the place and tries to use the toilets there.

Apart for this negative point the place is a must see place...

It was so nice experience spending time here. This deer park of Thenmala is a distant part of Thenmala eco tourism and is built within the Kallada river side forest. Apart from various varieties of deers what you can see interesting here is a Tree House and a small Children’s park with  some ecologically blended resting places.
