Eravikulam National Park

Discover the Nilgiri Tahr's last wild refuge

Early morning, head out from Munnar to the Eravikulam National Park. This stretch of the Western Ghats is absolutely pristine and is situated at the base of the Anamudi Mountain, the highest peak south of the Himalayas measuring over 8000 ft! Eravikulam is a nature lover’s delight and was created with the specific purpose of preserving the natural environment of the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, or mountain goat. The park is also a habitat for leopards, wild dogs, macaques and a vast number of birds. Eravikulam is also home to the startling blue kurunji flower that bloom only once every 12 years! The next bloom is expected in 2018. The blossoms cover the entire hillside and that’s why they are called the ‘Nilgiris’ meaning ‘blue mountains’.
