Thattekad: A Forest Whispering With Wings

Thattekad—an unassuming name, tucked quietly in the western foothills of Kerala’s Anamalai range—rises in significance the moment one hears a bird call echo through its canopy. Dr. Salim Ali called it the “richest bird habitat in peninsular India”—a title it still wears with quiet pride. Here, nature hasn’t raised its voice in alarm; it sings, softly and constantly, a lullaby of continuity.
