Nestled within the majestic Western Ghats, Eravikulam National Park is a breathtaking haven for wildlife enthusiasts, nature lovers, and adventure seekers. Spanning a vast 97 square kilometers, this UNESCO World Heritage site is renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and the opportunity to witness the rare Nilgiri Tahr in its natural habitat. If you’re staying with Monkey Tribe’s Hostel Munnar, you’re in for a treat—our property offers trips to this enchanting park, making your journey seamless and unforgettable.

Encounter the Majestic Nilgiri Tahr

The star of Eravikulam National Park is undoubtedly the Nilgiri Tahr, an endangered species of mountain goat that calls the park home. These agile creatures gracefully traverse the rugged slopes and grasslands, offering a rare spectacle for visitors. Whether grazing on the emerald meadows or leaping across rocky terrain, their presence is both captivating and humbling.

Thanks to dedicated conservation efforts, the Nilgiri Tahr population is steadily increasing, making Eravikulam a remarkable success story in wildlife preservation. To catch a glimpse of these elusive animals, plan your visit during the early morning hours or late afternoon, when they’re most active. Our team at Monkey Tribe can help you plan your trip to maximize your chances of seeing these majestic creatures up close.

Marvel at Anamudi: South India’s Highest Peak

Eravikulam National Park is home to Anamudi, the tallest peak in South India, standing at an impressive 2,695 meters. While trekking to the summit is restricted to protect its delicate ecosystem, visitors can admire this towering giant from designated viewpoints within the park. Covered in mist and surrounded by lush valleys, Anamudi offers a postcard-perfect backdrop and a must-capture moment for photography enthusiasts.

Monkey Tribe’s guided tours ensure you don’t miss the best vantage points to soak in the grandeur of Anamudi.

Witness the Neelakurinji Bloom: A Once-in-a-Generation Event

One of the most magical spectacles in Eravikulam National Park is the blooming of the Neelakurinji flowers, an event that occurs only once every 12 years. During this rare phenomenon, the hills are blanketed in a mesmerizing sea of blue, drawing visitors from around the globe. While the next bloom may still be a few years away, the legacy of this natural wonder makes Eravikulam a place of enduring enchantment.
