Experience

Explore the untouched forest fringes of Anakulam, a remote tribal village famous for frequent sightings of wild elephants in their natural habitat. Travel in a rugged 4×4 jeep through tea plantations, forest tracks, river crossings, and mountain viewpoints for a true off-road adventure from Munnar.

Anakulam is known as the “Elephant Village” because herds regularly descend from the forest to drink mineral-rich water from the river. Unlike fenced reserves, this is a completely natural environment, offering authentic wildlife viewing.

• Enjoy an off-road jeep safari through forest and plantation routes
• Visit scenic tea estates and panoramic mountain viewpoints
• Experience rural village life in Kerala’s highlands

Full Description

Your day begins with hotel pickup in Munnar. Travel by private jeep through winding mountain roads surrounded by lush tea plantations.

The route passes through scenic viewpoints, small settlements, and forest corridors before reaching Anakulam village. This quiet tribal settlement lies on the forest edge where wild elephants frequently gather near the river.

Spend time observing elephants from a safe distance while your driver-guide shares local insights about wildlife behavior and village life. Elephant sightings are common but depend on natural movement patterns.
