About Mukurthi Peak Trek, Ooty:
Mukurthi Peak Trek in Mukurthi National Park offers one of the most captivating experiences available in Nilgiris, providing a rare and exclusive opportunity to discover Western Ghats biodiversity, home to exotic flora and fauna such as lion-tailed macaques, leopards, and the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. Mountainous massifs within this park are encircled by large reservoirs and dense forests - an unforgettable journey through Mukurthi. As one journeys from Ooty towards the park, their trail will lead them through an exquisite mosaic of greens - dense Shola forests, eucalyptus and pine plantations, rolling grasslands, as well as unique trees such as wild yellow raspberries (Guthania Fergidinicma), cinnamon trees, Satyrium Nepalese, Oberonia Santapaui, among many more! Mukurthi Peak, known for its striking and undisturbed wilderness, draws the interest of trekkers and wildlife enthusiasts alike. This landmark peak is best known for its distinct shape resembling that of an older person lying down, and is revered by Toda tribes who consider it sacred and auspicious. Visitors should note that entry to Mukurthi Peak is strictly regulated, and permits are necessary in order to protect its delicate ecosystem and the critically endangered Nilgiri Tahr. Visitors can still enjoy trekking through this region with permission to enter a national park. Soon enough, you will reach the summit of Mukurthi Peak and be treated to stunning views. Sunrise or
