Our Experience at Rajmala hills

After spending some time in Thekkady, we really wanted to see Neelgiri Tahr in Munnar. As we reached the Rajmala hills, we realized that our decision to visit this place was perfect.

Rajmala hills at Eravikulam National Park is a house for Neelgiri Tahr an endangered specie of goat. It is said to have nearly half of world’s Neelgiri Tahr’s population.

Neelgiri Tahr is the main reason to visit this beautiful hill. The scenic beauty is such that we got mesmerized.
