Eravikulam National Park

It is a famous national park in south India. Nilgiri Tahr, numbering over a thousand, is found in this park. The Anamudi peak, the highest peak in south India, is situated in it. With permission from the forest authorities you can go for nature walks and treks within the park.

Although the major part of the area is covered with grasslands, there are shola forests, too. The forest receives heavy rains during both the monsoons. During winter months of December-February, frost is quite a common phenomenon.

You can find tiger, panther and wild dogs in the park. Civet cat, sloth bear, Nilgiri langur, wild boar and jungle cat live in the shola-covered areas. The Atlas moth, the largest of its kind in the world, is seen in this park. You can visit the park between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. It is closed during the monsoon.
