Pocharam Wildlife Sanctuary

Pocharam Wildlife Sanctuary is a forest and wildlife sanctuary located 15 km (9.3 mi) from Medak and 115 km (71 mi) from Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

Spanning over 130 square kilometres (50 sq mi), in the districts of Nizamabad and Medak, it was a former hunting ground of the Nizam that was declared a wildlife sanctuary in the early 20th century.

It is named after the Pocharam Lake, formed from the banding of the Allair from 1916-1922. The sanctuary has an ecotourism center for visitors. It is home to many species of birds and mammals. If you love birds so much that you can identify them by their names, you need to visit the place where excellent ranges of these flying creatures are seen.

 

The watchtower at the thick of the forest offers excellent view of the dense forest and the lake here. A small look alike of dam on one of the tributaries of Manjeera River is seen here where tourists have fun walking and swimming in the water.
