Eravikulam National Park, Munnar, Kerala

It is one of the most beautiful places I’d visited. The valley is fully covered with Sholas and mountain trees. Rolling Highland along with picturesque tea garden and the typical rock formation and the eco-system make the place for photographers.

I was there only for few hours, but it couldn’t stop me from taking pictures.

Anamudi- Himalaya of Southern India

When pages from geography book come in front you, someone may be overwhelmed. Same has happened with me. After reaching the end of this park we saw a rock, shaped like an elephant head. Sign board mention this “Anamudi”, the highest peak of the Western Ghats in South India.

The elevation is nearly 2695 meters and the peak is so steep, that no one can climb. Anamudi Peak serves as the crown for the reserve area being accomplished with variant flora and fauna. The cliffs on all the side isolated this area and create a table like land.

Atukkad Waterfalls

It is nearly 2km from there. But you can take a scenic look at the park also.

Tea Estate

The scenic beauty of this valley deepens by the tea gardens. 

In higher altitude main core forest area owned by the forest department. We were not allowed to go inside, but trucks were entering there.  Elephants are there in the deep forest, the core portion, where tourist are not allowed.

Few Moments

For You

History: Rajamalai was the haunting place for British. And it was owned by Rajamalai and Eravikulam during the British era. Later the area was declared as a sanctuary with an objective of protecting the indigenous population of Nilgiri Tahr (most endangered mountain goat) when founded in the year 1975 and was then upgraded as the national park in 1978.

Eating there: A permanent fast food center is there. We took coffee and ice cream after returning back from the park. 
There is a permanent artifact stall for selling various types of memorabilia.
