Butterfly Park

Along the southern slope of this volcanic rock hill is a dense forest patch with a great variety of butterflies, christened the 'Butterfly Park' by Dr. Jaffer Palot of the Malabar Natural History Society.



Though it is only a small patch (approx. 300m long and 100m wide) which is quiet close to the sea (Approx. 1Km); Dr. Jafer has recorded 115 species of butterflies here over the last decade or so, including some forest species.

In the past 2 day I was able to see + 40 species in just a few hours.
