Project Description

It is located in between the Anaimalai Hills and Palani Hills near Suryanelli around 20 km away from Munnar. Meesapulimala sustains some of Kerala’s largest and most varied flora and fauna. The biodiversity of this place is enriched with waterfalls, Shola forests, and lush green mountains that are surrounded by beautiful meadows.

Nilgiri tahrs are often seen in parts of Western Ghats, which are more than 2,000 meters from the sea level. Meesappulimala is thus an important habitat of the Nilgiri tahr and hence, we need to understand the need to protect it from exploitation.

The presence of Rhododendron – the national flower of Nepal, the state tree of Uttarakhand, and the state flower of Himachal Pradesh and Nagaland – portrays the importance of this place’s biodiversity. Rhododendron is widely seen near the banks of streams and hillsides. It is a visual treat to the viewer when this tree blossoms with crimson red flowers.
