Explore Eravikulam National Park

Hills studded with Nilgiri Tahrs (endangered mountain goat) bounding along, languidly grazing, and striking a pose. Glorious stretches of land blanketed in a blue hue every time the Neelakurinji blooms. This is the essence of the Eravikulam National Park, tucked away in the scenic Munnar and spread over 97 sq. Km, which bursts with a wide variety of flora and fauna. The Park offers a host of eco-tourism programmes which lets you enjoy the visual splendour of this bewitching landscape brimming with wildlife.
