Amidst the blue mountains of Nilgiris, surrounded with ridges on all sides lies the Silent Valley national park in Palakkad, Kerala – about 50km from Coimbatore. A home to some of the rare flora and fauna, this national park can be visited all year round with the exception of Fridays and somewhere between March to May when the park is closed. The weather is always pleasant in here courtesy of the natural wall of ridges around it that protects it from extreme weather events.
