Situated just 23 km from Thrissur town, Peechi Dam is a hot favourite for picnics, thanks to boating at reservoir, scenic garden and proximity to Peechi-Vazhani Wildlife Sanctuary. If we want to experience the rich repository of bio-diversity and wildlife, then head to the sanctuary. It is home to endangered herbs, shrubs, medicinal plants, birds and a host of mammals such as elephant, bison, leopard and deer.
