Very long journey to the hill, but the view really awesome from the watch tower... Check the image with information center phone numbers . You need tk check with them for jeep. They send only through the jeep they have limited and it's like a package.

One of the only remaining rain forest. Amazing view of the forest and the Kunthi river from the watch tower. Probably the deepest you can go in a jeep into forest, nearly 22 KMs thanks to the electricity board who built the road to reach the proposed dam site. The dam project was shelved due resistance from environmentalists and we have the privilege of passing through the thick rain forest. The crystal clear water flowing through the river is a delightful sight.

The Silent Valley National Park, the perfect place to living organisms. Could go upto watch tower. It was a good trucking. Food and drinks should be carried. Need to go inside the forest area to see the clear wildlife animals, but it is not permitted (Went in 2012).

Silent Valley National Park, is a national park in Kerala, India. It is located in the Nilgiri hills, has a core area of 89.52 km2 (34.56 sq mi), which is surrounded by a buffer zone of 148 km2 (57 sq mi). This national park has some rare species of flora and fauna. This area was explored in 1847 by the botanist Robert Wight. The national park is one of the last undisturbed tracts of South Western Ghats mountain rain forests and tropical moist evergreen forest in India. Contiguous with the proposed Karimpuzha National Park (225 km2 (87 sq mi)) to the north and Mukurthi National Park (78.46 km2) to the north-east, it is the core of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (1,455.4 km2), and is part of the Nilgiri Sub-Cluster (6,000 km2), Western Ghats World Heritage Site, recognised by UNESCO in 2007. Plans for a hydroelectric project that threatened the park's biodiversity stimulated an environmentalist social movement in the 1970s, known as the Save Silent Valley movement, which resulted in cancelling the project and creating the park in 1980. The visitors' centre for the park is at Sairandhri.
