Anakulam, a quiet yet fascinating gem in the hills of Idukki near Munnar, is a paradise for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Best known for its rare elephant sightings and scenic off-road trails, Anakulam Jeep Safari is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about experiences in Kerala. At Lumiere Holidays, we offer the best Munnar travel packages that include this exhilarating experience as part of our specially curated itineraries.

Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a family vacation, here’s everything you need to know about the best Anakulam tourism and what to expect from a Jeep safari in this pristine landscape.

1. Wild Elephant Sightings—Anakulam’s Natural Wonder

The word “Anakulam” literally translates to “Elephant Pond”—and” for a reason. One of the most mesmerizing sights here is the natural mineral-rich stream where wild elephants regularly come to drink water, especially during the evening. This phenomenon is unique to Anakulam and draws nature photographers and wildlife lovers from across the country.

If you want to witness elephants in their natural habitat, peacefully coexisting with the local ecosystem, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a must-include in your Anakulam Jeep Safari.

2. Off-Road Adventure through Dense Forest Trails

The Anakulam Jeep Safari is not your regular road trip. It’s an adrenaline-packed off-road ride through thick forest paths, riverbeds, rolling hills, and hidden waterfalls. Every turn unveils a new landscape — misty valleys, wildflower-strewn paths, and vibrant greenery all around.

Our Munnar packages at Lumiere Holidays include trusted drivers and local guides who are well-versed with these trails, ensuring both safety and authenticity throughout the ride.

3. Refreshing Stops at Kallar & Viripara Waterfalls

As part of the safari trail, you'll stop by Kallar Waterfalls and Viripara Waterfalls, two beautiful natural spots that add to the magic of the trip. These waterfalls are perfect for taking a quick dip, clicking photos, or simply sitting back and enjoying nature's music.

These spots are part of every best Anakulam tourism plan because they showcase the unspoiled charm of the Western Ghats.

4. Tea Gardens, Tribal Life & Local Culture

Another highlight of the Anakulam Jeep Safari is the cultural immersion. You'll pass through scenic tea plantations and tribal settlements, getting a glimpse of Kerala’s rural heritage. Our packages offer optional experiences like plantation visits, tea-tasting sessions, and short interactions with the local tribal communities.

It’s a great opportunity to learn how nature and people live in perfect harmony here — something you can’t find in mainstream tourist spots.

5. Breathtaking Viewpoints for Panoramic Vistas

The safari ends at some of the highest points in the region that offer breathtaking views of valleys, rivers, and hills in the distance. These viewpoints are ideal for catching a sunrise or sunset and are often the perfect way to end the day’s adventure.
