Nestled in the serene embrace of Kerala’s Western Ghats, Eravikulam National Park is a treasure trove of natural beauty and biodiversity. Spread across 97 square kilometers, this enchanting destination is located in the Idukki and Ernakulam districts, just a short journey from Dream Casa Homestay. Established in 1978 as Kerala's first national park, Eravikulam is a sanctuary for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
Why Visit Eravikulam National Park?
Eravikulam National Park is renowned for its captivating landscapes and diverse wildlife. The park’s elevation, ranging from 2,000 to 2,695 meters above sea level, creates a unique ecosystem of montane grasslands and shola forests. As Kerala's iconic Nilgiri Tahr roams freely here, visitors can enjoy the rare opportunity to see this endangered species in its natural habitat.
Dream Casa guests often rave about the Rajamalai trek, a popular trail offering panoramic views of misty hills and lush valleys. The park is especially magical during the Neelakurinji blooming season, which blankets the hills in vibrant blue hues once every 12 years. Whether you’re looking for adventure or tranquility, Eravikulam National Park has it all.
