Eravikulam National Park, spread across 97 sq km of rolling grasslands and shola forests in the Western Ghats, is home to the largest surviving population of the endangered Nilgiri Tahr - a stocky mountain goat found nowhere else on Earth. The park's landscape is stunning undulating grasslands at 2,000+ meters altitude, with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The Nilgiri Tahr here are remarkably unafraid of humans, often grazing within meters of visitors. Every 12 years, the hills explode in blue-violet Neelakurinji flowers (next: 2030), creating one of nature's most spectacular displays.
