The Silent Valley is the last remaining stretch of undisturbed
tropical evergreen forest in peninsular India. The park lies at the
southwestern corner of the Nilgiris, on a plateau surrounded on all
sides by high, continuous ridges. There's an amazing variety of
wildlife in these thick moss-laden forests—from the king cobra to
the giant Malabar squirrel, the Malabar whistling thrush and the
endangered Nilgiri langui and the lion-tailed macaque. The park is
also home to 1,000 species of plants—-including more than 100 kinds
of orchids and rare medicinal herbs. The best way to see the park
i.s to trek through it. The trek from Mukkali (20km from the park)
to Karuvarukundu takes two days and can be fairly gruelling in
parts.
