Silent Valley - Palakkad, Kerala


Paradise of natural rain forests

Silent valley is a brilliant mystery which is half-revealed and half-concealed of what is now a part of a story older than human race, where this rain forest takes back to 50 million years. Silent Valley is the most ecologically diverse areas on the planet, with a rich mosaic of varied habitats. She beckons us to witness the marvelous ebullience of life that narrates itself in an incredible bedlam of plants, animals and birds. At the core of her heart many songs is a motionless, only those who stride in deep silence could learn to hear.
Some people while walking through it sometimes got a possibility of passing an inner revolution, could possibily ask the question: “Oh Mother am I thy flesh and blood, feel and fever; shall I be thine and would you be mine?" That Silent question will be responded to in Silence; in the Silence by the reverential bowing of human will and the trailing branches of trees in Silent Valley.

The Silent Valley National Park with an area of 90 sq km is located in the Northeastern corner of Palakkad district. It is a true Garden of Eden for students who deal with life sciences. Perhaps, we couldn’t find such a representative collection of Western Ghats biodiversity anywhere else with more than 1000 species of flowering plants which include about more than hundred  species of orchids, 30-40 species of mammals and yet more than hundred species of butterflies, 400 species of moths, and lot more that is seen in South India.

The River Kunthi descends from the Nilgiri hills, from a height of 2000 m above the sea level and covers the entire length of the valley rushing down through the deep forest. The River Kunthi is always very pure and crystal clear, perennial and wild. This is yet another attraction of Silent Valley. Silent Valley offers you a very cooling climate that attracts each traveler to this eccentric beauty.
