Why Visit Chokramudi?

Located at an altitude of approximately 2,100 metres (6,890 ft), Chokramudi Peak is one of the highest trekking destinations in Munnar. Unlike crowded tourist spots, Chokramudi offers peaceful trekking trails through rolling grasslands, mist-covered hills, shola forests, and breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the Western Ghats.

The trail rewards trekkers with panoramic views of tea plantations, valleys, and mountain ranges, making it one of the most scenic trekking experiences in Kerala.

Witness the Rare Neelakurinji Blossom

One of the biggest attractions of this trek is the opportunity to witness the spectacular Neelakurinji (Strobilanthes kunthiana) bloom.

These extraordinary flowers transform the mountain slopes into a breathtaking carpet of purple-blue blossoms during their flowering season. Seeing the Neelakurinji in bloom is one of the rarest natural experiences in India and attracts nature lovers, photographers, and travellers from across the world.
