Nilgiri Tahr Munnar – The Pride of Eravikulam

The Nilgiri Tahr Munnar population is the largest in India. You can easily spot them near:

Rajamalai View Point

Rajamalai View Point is one of the best places to spot the Nilgiri Tahr in Munnar. As you walk toward the viewpoint, you’ll often see these gentle mountain goats grazing along the slopes or resting on rocky ledges. The combination of misty hills, open grasslands, and the presence of these graceful animals makes Rajamalai a must-visit spot inside Eravikulam National Park.

Upper Grasslands

The upper grasslands of Eravikulam are the natural habitat of the Nilgiri Tahr. With wide green stretches and cool mountain air, this region gives the animals plenty of space to roam freely in herds. Visitors often find the Tahrs calmly feeding, interacting with their young ones, or crossing the open meadows. This area offers the most peaceful and natural wildlife-viewing experience in the park.Call Now 9388332255

Rocky Walking Path

The rocky walking path inside the park is another popular zone where Nilgiri Tahrs are commonly seen at close range. These animals are expert climbers and feel comfortable navigating steep rocks and uneven terrain. As you trek along the path, it’s not unusual for a Tahr to appear just a few meters away, offering excellent opportunities for photography and observation.

Flywell timings are planned to increase your chance of spotting Tahrs.
