Jatayu Earth’s Centre – Unveiling the Greatness of World’s Largest Bird Sculpture in Kerala

On the second day of the Varkala trip, the highlight was visiting the famous Jatayu Earth’s Centre at Chadayamangalam in Kollam. Renting a two-wheeler made the commute easy and flexible, avoiding the longer bus route via Varkala-Paripally-Chadayamangalam and the subsequent jeep ride to the rock sculpture.

What to Carry for Jatayu Earth’s Centre

Visitors are required to store all belongings like bags, drones, and water bottles in lockers near the ticket counter, except for mobile phones and wallets.

Only parents with children are allowed to carry bags inside the premises, ensuring a safe and clutter-free experience.
