History
Anamudi Peak's history is intertwined with the Eravikulam National Park, established in 1975 to protect the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. The region has a long history of human interaction, with evidence of indigenous communities inhabiting the surrounding areas for centuries. The name "Anamudi" translates to "elephant's forehead" in Malayalam, possibly referring to its shape. During the British Raj, the area was popular for hunting and game, but conservation efforts later led to its protection. The peak's challenging terrain and remote location have preserved its natural beauty and ecological integrity. Today, it stands as a testament to the importance of conservation and a popular destination for those seeking adventure and connection with nature.
