Additional Information

We journey approximately 43 kilometers to Anakulam using the Lekshmi mountain route. A picturesque village named Aanakulam, enveloped in forest landscape, magically blends tranquility and beauty. Notably, the local elephants here interact in large assemblies within human-populated territories, a distinct feature of this scenic locale. Two tributaries of Periyaar, namely, Idacholayaar and Nallatanniyaar moisten and enrich this terrain. Reaching this site is reliant on jeep transport services.

One can marvel at the elephant gatherings from as close as 50 meters.

Anakulam is an arena set against a backdrop of Reserve forests. It is prominent due to its geographic, climatic, and cultural diversity. Local Muthuvans and Hill Pulayas cultures contribute to the unique charm.

Additional sights worth visiting include; the Viripara tiger cave, Rubber plantation visit, Perumankuth waterfalls, River crossing, hanging bridge, Swimming in the safe river, off-road driving (through the forest), and common wild elephant sighting places.

Great day in Munnar Hills - It was a great day. Also because we had a great driver. Hé knew inmediatly what we liked and made our day special! Hé also took us to his house and family to have a chai. Crossing the river nu car and walking in the river was great and also the walk through the tea plantations was lovely. To end the day with seeing 8 wild elephants topped up our experience! Great!!!

Stunnig - Thanks to our friendly guide, Suresh, with whom we spent a wonderful day. Everything was perfect, the discovery of the coffee plantation, the waterfalls, the good meal and of course the final gift with the group of elephants. I recommend.

A Must-Do Activity, we are so happy we did it :) - We had an unforgettable experience on the Anakkulam Wild Elephant Village Tour with our amazing guide, Suresh. The day was filled with breathtaking views and a deep connection to nature that we'll cherish forever. Suresh went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. He made an extra effort to find elephants, and we were thrilled when we finally spotted them in a tea plantation. The sight of these majestic creatures against the backdrop of the lush green tea fields was truly epic. From the scenic jeep ride through the village to the thrill of spotting wild elephants, every moment was magical. The peaceful ambiance of the village and the warmth of the local people added a special touch to our day. If you're looking for a unique and immersive experience in Munnar, I highly recommend this tour. It's a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility, and Suresh's dedication and expertise truly enhanced our journey. Thank you for a wonderful day that we'll never forget!

Incredible Munnar Experience - The entire trip was incredible — from the tea farms, to the waterfalls, to seeing the elephant village! Could not have been more perfect — we waited around 90 minutes to see the elephant village but it was well worth the wait. Highly recommend!

Unreal views!!!! - We had so much fun in this adventure! Mani was our guide, and he was the best!!! He was super attentive and made sure we had an excellent experience. He was knowledgeable, gave us time to do things on our own, and was patient while we waited for the elephants. Also two other pros: The food that is included is very tasty and the jeep is the coolest! Even if you go in slow season and do not get a chance to see elephants due to weather conditions (like us), the experience of this tour alone is worth it. We had so much fun!! And Mani also took great pictures of us. ;)

Amazing Anakkulam Village Tour - We had an amazing day touring the tea plantations and scenic spots around Munnar. Our driver and tour guide, Ganesh, was fantastic. He explained all of the sights we saw; he was very knowledgeable and he did everything he possibly could to make sure we saw wild elephants on our journey. The staff that helped us book the tour were very helpful and accommodating too.
