Eravikulam National Park.

 Eravikulam National Park - Munnar.

Eravikulam National Park sits in Kerala's Idukki district, part of the Western Ghats. It's best known as home to the largest surviving population of the Nilgiri tahr, an endangered mountain goat found nowhere else in the world.

The park's rolling grasslands and shola forests reach elevations of over 2,600 meters at Anamudi, the highest peak in peninsular India. 

It's also famous for the neelakurinji, a shrub that blooms in a striking blue-purple flush only once every twelve years, drawing visitors from across the country when it happens.

Only a small section, Rajamalai, is open to tourists, keeping most of the park undisturbed for conservation.
