A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a
distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a
particular section of flat terrain without a massive summit. Munnar is blessed with two
beautiful hills.



ANAMUDI PEAK



Towering at an elevation of 2,695 m, the Anamudi Peak is the highest peak along the
Western Ghats and also the highest point in South India. It is a thick forested hill which
is blessed with diverse blend of flora and fauna. It is a great delight to all the nature
lovers, wildlife enthusiasts and adventurous trekkers. Every year numerous travelers
come here for various trekking purposes.

Literally the meaning of Anamudi is Elephants head which perfectly suits the majestic
look of the peak. The site has picturesque natural setting with beautiful slopes and
valleys. It is rich in various kinds of flora and fauna. Several medicinal herbs and plants
like wintergreen, Anaphalis and Impatiens can be found in the thick jungles of Anamudi.
The hill is also opulent in several species of wild animals like Nilgiri langurs, tigers,
leopards, macaques, etc. The peak is also the source of many rivers of Kerala and the
neighboring state of Tamil Nadu. This tourist site is a true haven for wildlife enthusiasts
who like to spot some of the unique and endangered animals living on earth.

Anamudi Peak is the perfect place to indulge in some thrilling trekking expeditions. The
steep nature trails here are beautiful but very tough at the same time. It will be a great
deal of challenge for the trekkers to walk through dense jungles and reach the top.
However, such trekking excursions are always a pleasurable experience for the travelers
as they get to come face to face with the amazing wonders of nature. Trekkers are
allowed to go on foot to the Anamudi but prior to that they have to take permission
from the Eravikulam National Park authorities. Many trekking facilities with necessary
equipments are also provided by the authorities of the park. Camping in the tents is the
