Eravikulam National Park

High above the tea-covered slopes of Munnar lies a world untouched — Eravikulam National Park, the crown jewel of Kerala’s hill country. This is not just a destination; it’s an experience that lingers. The wind here smells of wildflowers, the valleys echo with the silence of nature, and the hills wear a rare shade of blue once every twelve years.

Neelakurinji – The Bloom of a Generation

Eravikulam is one of the few places on Earth where you can witness the Neelakurinji — a flower that blooms just once every 12 years, painting the hills in a surreal blue-purple blanket. If you’re lucky to visit during the bloom, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Missed it? The next one’s expected in 2030 — and yes, we’ll remind you!

Walk into the Wild

Take the Rajamalai Trail, the park’s most accessible zone. It’s not just a trail — it’s a slow-motion walk through silence, wind, and wonder. Butterflies flutter across your path, and if you pause long enough, you might hear your heart syncing with the rhythm of the hills.

Anamudi Peak – Touch the Sky

Rising to 2,695 meters, Anamudi is the highest peak in South India — and it stands within the park’s boundaries. While summit treks are restricted, the view from the base is breathtaking, especially when the morning mist rolls in like a slow dance of clouds.
