An offbeat destination where forests, rivers, plantations and village life come together.

Journey Into the Forests Around Anakulam

Anakulam is a scenic village in Idukki district, located approximately 40 kilometres from Munnar. Surrounded by forest landscapes and nourished by tributaries of the Periyar River, the area offers a very different experience from the busy tourist attractions of central Munnar.

The journey itself becomes part of the adventure. A jeep tour can take you through winding mountain roads, tea plantations, forest stretches, streams and scenic countryside before reaching the Anakulam region.

For travellers looking for an Anakulam jeep safari from Munnar, the combination of off-road travel, natural scenery and wildlife makes this an especially memorable experience.

Why Is Anakulam Famous?

Anakulam is particularly known for wild elephants that visit the area's mineral-rich water sources. The village's name itself means "Elephant Pond", reflecting its long association with elephants.


The elephant visits are a natural wildlife phenomenon. Sightings depend on wildlife movement, weather, season and local conditions and therefore can never be guaranteed.

The best experience is not simply about seeing an elephant; it is about travelling responsibly through a forest landscape and observing wildlife from a safe distance.
