Kodiyakarai – Birdwatcher’s Paradise

Birdwatcher’s Paradise – Kodiyakarai

Kodiyakarai, part of the famous Point Calimere Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary, is a true paradise for nature lovers and birdwatchers. During the winter season, the region becomes home to thousands of migratory birds, including flamingos, pelicans, and painted storks.

The sanctuary also protects rich mangrove forests and traditional salt pans, supporting a unique coastal ecosystem. Visitors may often spot wild deer, blackbucks, and even feral horses while exploring the serene surroundings.

The Kodiyakarai Lighthouse stands quietly along the pristine shores, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the endless coastline. It is an ideal spot for those seeking solitude, photography, or artistic inspiration from the untouched seascapes.

Sando Residency invites you to settle in near the sea with comfortable rooms available now at Vedaranyam. Our residancy also serves guests from nearby Aayakaranpulam, providing peaceful stays for nature enthusiasts, tourists, and families visiting Kodiyakarai.
