About this location
Anamudi Shola protects a slice of high-altitude shola-grassland forest in the Western Ghats near Munnar, directly adjoining Eravikulam National Park. Small and less visited than its famous neighbour, it extends the same shola-forest and montane grassland ecosystem that supports the Nilgiri tahr.

Photography tips for Anamudi Shola National Park
Access is limited and largely trek-based with a forest department guide; most visitors experience this landscape via neighbouring Eravikulam rather than a dedicated entry into Anamudi Shola itself.
Conservation: Part of the Western Ghats UNESCO World Heritage Site complex, protecting shola-grassland habitat contiguous with Eravikulam's Nilgiri tahr population.
