Karimpuzha National Park

Karimpuzha National Park sits in the Nilgiri Hills and covers an area spanning different elevations with dense forest coverage. The park includes several forest types that change from lower plains to higher mountain regions.

The protected areas came from rules set in the 1800s that placed the forest under government care. These early steps formed the foundation for what later became a national park.

The forest holds deep meaning for local communities who have lived among these trees for generations. Visitors can see how people depend on the woods for their daily lives and knowledge of the land.

The park is most easily reached from Nilambur, where trails lead through the different forest zones. Visitors should prepare for varied terrain since the changes in elevation will affect how you explore.

The park is home to many bird and butterfly species that visitors can spot while walking the trails. This animal life is a key part of what makes this forest different from others.
