'''Chimmini Wildlife sanctuary''' is a protected area located along the [[Western Ghats]] in [[Chalakudy taluk]] of [[Thrissur District]] of [[Kerala]] state in [[India]].<br />
<br />
Established in 1984, the sanctuary with an area of about 85.067&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> is on the Western slopes of the [[Nelliyampathi]] Hills. The highest peak in sanctuary is Punda peak (1116 m). Along with the neighboring [[Peechi-Vazhani Wildlife Sanctuary]] it forms a continuous protected area of 210&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. It also lies just west of [[Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary]], providing some habitat connectivity with the forests of that relatively large protected area. The sanctuary consists of the watershed areas of [[Kurumali River]] and Mupliam rivers. Nestled in the sanctuary is [[Chimmony Dam]] which is built across the Chimmini river.<ref>{{cite web <br />
