Shenduruny Wildlife Sanctuary - Near Kollam
January 9th, 2007
Varghese George writes about Shenduruny Wildlife Sactuary, which is located at Kollam - Shencotta Road, in Pathanapuram taluk of Kollam district.
According to some recent archaeological studies, Shenduruny was the cradle of one of the oldest river valley civilizations in India - one older than even the Indus Valley which dates from 4400 - 3700 BC! Paintings similar to those of the Mesolithic period (5210 - 4420 BC) found in the caves of central India, have been excavated from a cave, large enough to hold 20 people, in the northwestern part of the river.
Not sure whether this is true, but his post is tempting me to make a trip next month.
