Anchuruli, Mountain viewpoint in Idukki district, India.

Located at 755 meters above sea level, Anchuruli features green hills, multiple rivers, and forest pathways leading to mountain peaks.

The name Anchuruli derives from five small hills shaped like inverted vessels, visible when water levels in Idukki reservoir decrease.

Local residents maintain fishing traditions in the reservoir waters while preserving connections to the ancient Sastha shrine in nearby Ayyappancoil.

Visitors require permits from the Divisional Forest Office at Kanchiyar before exploring the trails or engaging in trekking activities.

A 5.5-kilometer circular tunnel runs through the mountain, carrying water from Erattayar dam directly to Idukki reservoir.

Location: Idukki district
