Eravikulam National Park

In the forested high ranges of the south Indian state of Kerala is a valley watered by three rivers. The mountains that hunch out of the valley are covered in manicured slopes of tea.

This is the Eravikulam National Park, known for the Nilgiri Tahr, a goat in dire need of the dedicated protection given by the State Forest Department and the company which owns the tea estates in Munnar.

This is a good stop-over for wildlifers entering Kerala from Ooty and going toward the Periyar National Park.
