Anakulam Elephant Safari in Munnar

The Anakulam Jeep Safari is one of the most unique wildlife adventures in Munnar. Anakulam is a small forest village located about 40 km from Munnar town where wild elephants gather near a natural mineral water river.

This rare natural phenomenon attracts elephant herds from the surrounding forests of the Western Ghats. Visitors can safely watch elephants drink mineral-rich water from the river banks during evening hours.

The journey itself is an exciting 4x4 off road safari through tea plantations, forest roads, waterfalls, river crossings and scenic viewpoints.

Our safari route also includes famous attractions such as Viripara Waterfalls, Kallar Waterfalls, Hanging Bridge, Tiger Cave and Spice Plantation tours.
