Ensconced between the high ranges of the Kannan Devan Hills in Idukki District and the Annamalai hills, the Eravikulam National Park encompasses 97 sq. km. Within the park you can experience the breathtaking natural splendour of undulating emerald grasslands interspersed by wooded valleys, shrub land and shola forests, crisscrossed by cold, clear streams.
But the pride of Eravikulam and its mascot, is the incredibly agile Nilgiri Tahr, a highly endangered animal, listed in the IUCN Red Data Book. The park’s other claim to fame is the spectacular blooming of the purplish blue flowers of the neelakurinji shrub. . .
