Once in the Blue Moon but it blooms! That's what is said about this flower which really blooms once in 12 years. Its Neelakurinji, the blue-purple flower which gave Nilgiris their name, flower that turns these mountains blue. But this nature's magic got obstructed this year by another of nature's fury- the floods. Still, few of them survived the ordeal. Hence, here we are inside the Eravikulam National Park in Kerala which is just ten kilometres from Munnar. This park spread out on Nilgiri hills is home to Neelakurinji flowers and Nilgiri Tahr. !function(e,t,c,a){if(!e.fwn&&(a="fwn_script",n=e.fwn=function(){ n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments) },e._fwn||(e._fwn=n),n.queue=[],!t.getElementById(a))){var d=document.createElement("script"); ...

Nilgiri Tahr is endemic to the hill ranges of the Western Ghats of Southern peninsular India. Those who have travelled frequently to Lahaul & Spiti can find the similarity to Himalayan Tahr.
