Telangana’s First Bird-Watching Cabin Opens in Khammam

Nalgonda: Telangana forest department has set up the state’s first birdwatching lodge at Puligundala eco-tourism area in Khammam district, aiming to preserve biodiversity and promote ecotourism.

The facility is set within a forested area so visitors can observe bird life in a non-intrusive way. It is designed as an environmentally friendly structure that will minimize disturbance to wildlife while enhancing nature-based learning.

Officials said the cabin will help regulate visitor movement in sensitive areas, promote bird watching and documentation, and strengthen Puligundala’s position as an eco-tourism destination.

District forest officer Siddharth Vikram Singh said the initiative is a step towards sustainable eco-tourism and conservation support and also encourages public interaction with nature.

He said the facility is expected to integrate conservation, education and tourism and offer visitors a structured experience while preserving biodiversity.
