Yearning for an escape from the heat and dust of  Palakkad town, we headed to the Silent Valley National Park, ensconced in the high mountains of the Western Ghats….

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.
