    It's a nice place to visit. You can enjoy the beauty of jungle. Carry a SLR 📸 to click the natural beauty. If lucky you can 👀 see jungle squirrel, 🐻, 🐅, 🐒 etc.. There's mini bus & jeeps offer aprox up & down 52 kms off road ride to the view point by charging Rs650 per head. You should get advanced booking to enjoy this service. You can camp 2 or 3 days inside the jungle by paying 2 to 3 K. When I visit the access to Kunthi river was temporarily hampered due to construction of Bridge that has been collapsed in flooding.

    Very important environmental area in Palakkad, Kerala. Silent Valley is famous for its lion-tailed macaque. Visitors can take a ticket for entry to the forest. After 22 kilometres of forest safari, there is a big watchtower, Exhibition centre and snack bar. There are toiletry rooms. We stayed inside the forest. Need permission and payment. A good trekking experience. Nice food. Overall great experience

    This is not every travellers spot ... One of the best experience ever. Adventure Drive, Forest, The walk, Animals ... More over Fresh Air and Water. The Ride itself is thrilling and the atmosphere is so calm that you can hear everything. Trees Hustling, Wind, Flowing water, Birds ... The 20 km ride and 1 Km on foot 🔥

    This is not a tourist spot, but a preserved forest which is open for those who love nature. After the Attappadi hairpins and view points we can travel upto the silent valley Entrance office. From there we need to take pass and travel with forest department total 5 hours inside the rain forest of western ghats. Fresh nature, streams, Trees and plants, view, Its a blessed place. Those who wish to travel should call priorer and need to make a booking since its entry is limited to 100 people in a single day. Beware of the wild animals as well as leeches. There are differnt trucking packages available. Respect the nature, Silent valley is home for endangered species.

    Silent Valley National Park Mannarkkad is a small town in Palakkad district of Kerala. Silent Valley, an ancient history of evolutionary and ecosystem, is 66 kilometres away from here. This is one of the largest taluks in Kerala. 40 km from Palakkad District Headquarters. Its position is north and east. The valleys of the rivers Kunthipuzha and Bhavanipuzha are the core part of the Silent Valley National Park. Cannot visit here like other tourist centres as it is a place of extreme ecological importance. Silent Valley is only allowed to enter with advanced permission from the Forest Department.Permission for this will be obtained from the Forest Department office in Mukkali, Palakkad. Eco tourist activities are going on here under the leadership of Forest Department. The forest department itself is arranging accommodation facilities for the tourists. Silent Valley was named Sairandri Forest. Silent Valley is said to have been named because of the sound of beetles. This name is said to have originated from the scientific name of the lion-tailed monkey found in the Silent Valley forest. Silent Valley is home to countless creatures. In ecosystems ranging from 2200 meters high to 500 meters high, it has been found to contain orchids, rare plant species and fish that have never been seen anywhere else in the world. Forest sightings can be between 9am and 3:30pm. By 3:30pm it will be dark in the forest with heavy snow.

    A beautiful place for those who love nature. We went there by mini bus at 8 am. Bus driver explain very well about each and every thing. It was 23 km journey to reach watch tower. Canteen and washroom are there. Well maintained and clean. Only few varieties of food items were arranged. From there small trekking to kunthi river 1.5 km one way journey. They don't allow us to get in the water. Only we can see snake caught by eagle and giant squirrel.

    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.

    Silent valley - Mannarkad - Kerala- As there is no existence of the insect Cicado (common name cricket) the forest will be silent except the noise of the animals, but our heritage says Sairandhri (Draupathi wife of Pandavas stayed in this jungle during their exile and from then the forest was called Sairandhri vanam. Though the Silent Valley is being used , one could see the mile stones inside the jungle (Safari path ) has the name Sairandhri only. The forest has got 300 kinds of birds, 400 kinds of Butterfly and 45 kinds of mammals.The spotted deer does not inhabit here as this place is always cool and the forest has no Peacocks also. Visit once you will love it.

    I recently visited Silent Valley National Park, a vast expanse of rainforest and tropical evergreen beauty. Originally named Sairandhrivanam, the British dubbed it Silent Valley due to the silence without cicada buzz, a misstep in my opinion. Getting there involves reaching Mulkkali and embarking on a captivating 4 hour jeep safari run by the Kerala Forest Department. The journey offers glimpses of the park's rich biodiversity, making it a treat for nature enthusiasts. The park's true charm lies in its diverse species, showcasing the wonders of nature in its purest form. From unique flora to a variety of wildlife, Silent Valley is a haven for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle. While the British might have misunderstood the source of silence, the park speaks volumes in terms of natural beauty. A visit here is a journey into the heart of untouched wilderness, a must for anyone seeking a connection with nature.

    The trip is only for natural lovers. Others haven't visited can have a try but might have mixed feelings due to the journey time& ticket price(650 per person). There is 23km journey to one side, every members in our gang felt tedious after the journey. The view point view is amazing. Now there are maintanence work ongoing on the bridge over kunthi river and they are not allowing travelers to the river. You can walk some distance through the way to kunthi river & come back. You will also get leach bites during the walk in this summer time also, so please keep a bottle of sanitizer along with you. A visit during the rainy season or just after the rainy season is recommended so that you can enjoy the small streams, river & forest in its full glory.

    “ Silent Valley National Park is a beautiful representation of the last remaining rain forest of Kerala. Historically it’s a paradigm of people’s movement to protect the forest. ” Silent Valley was declared as National Park in 1984 and formally inaugurated in the year 1985. Initially there was only 89.52 sq.km. area under the Division which forms the core zone of the National Park. In 2007, an area of 148 sq.km. was added to this Division as buffer zone.

    Silent Valley National Park, nestled in Kerala, India, is a pristine gem of biodiversity. Its lush rainforests and serene ambiance make it a haven for nature enthusiasts. The park boasts a variety of flora and fauna, including endangered species. Trekking through its trails is a mesmerizing experience. However, access is restricted to protect its delicate ecosystem. A visit to Silent Valley offers a unique opportunity to connect with the untouched beauty of the natural world. Better to visit before 1pm. They will charge a fee for Safari tour.

    Take nothing from here. Just the freshness of air and the calmness of mind is what you can take from here. I have travelled the length and breadth of this wonderful country and yet I was always amazed by the variety of flora and fauna in the forests here. When you go to Silent valley, make sure you stay for a day in one of the night accommodations there. A night in the tree top hut, surrounded by the amazing wilderness of the forest, the whistling of the night Breeze and also the soothing whispering of the leaves will rejuvenate your senses and take you back to the times of childishness. I can assure you a trip to this amazing National Park will be an experience you are never gonna forget for the next part of your life.

    We had booked the full day package at Silent Valley. From Mukkali base camp, a guide accompanied us to the forest dept cottage at Bommiyampadi. The cottage was quite clean and spacious. It is really isolated and you can feel the wilderness. Only a cook cum general handyman is available. But the food was very tasty and quite a feast considering the location. Evening at Bhavanipuzha puzha river was very refreshing. But the jungle safari in the forest department jeep next day was not so good. It is a bone rattling journey and hardly saw any animals. Overall a memorable experience. Worth the cost as it is all inclusive.

    The hills are part of highly sensitive Western Ghats and was once thick dense teak forests inhabited by tribals. Later the area became popular among English planters and the area soon developed into major plantation belt. Its one of the few plantation areas in India, where multiple crops like Pepper, cardamom, tea, coffee and oranges are cultivated.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.Shielded by the Nilgiri Plateau to the North and the Mannarkad Plains to the South, the Silent Valley was named a national park in 1984. Located in the Northeast corner of Palakkad district, the valley constitutes the centerpiece of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2012. A few centuries ago, before humans reached the Silent Valley, this reserve of tropical rainforests stood undisturbed and tranquil like a beautiful hidden diamond. Its silence was emphasized by the missing cicadas that usually characterized rainforests. Yet animals are plenty and the vast diversity in flora and fauna is breathtaking.

    There’s definitely something about this national park. But there should be something for the tourists as well. The hanging bridge could be one of those. They should fix it. It’s more than two years since the flood took away this bridge and nothing has been done to restore it. Also, there’s nothing for kids. They should plan some Childrens park near the tourist office. You will not see any litters in the valley. The Valley is well maintained. Kudos to the jeep drivers and other staff members for arranging a safe trip . The driver who took us for the ride was a very enthusiastic guy and tried his best to keep us entertained by sharing whatever he knows about the place. These guys knows the importance of maintaining the valley clean . Really appreciate that.

    Save Silent Valley was a social movement aimed at the protection of Silent Valley, an evergreen tropical forest in the Palakkad district of Kerala, India. It was started in 1973 by an NGO led by school teachers and the Kerala Sastra Sahithya Parishad(KSSP) to save the Silent Valley from being flooded by a hydroelectric project. The valley was declared as Silent Valley National Park in 1985. The Kuntipuzha is a major river that flows 15 oelectric dam across the Kunthipuzha River that runs through Silent Valley, that will submerge 8.3 sq km of untouched moist evergreen forest. In February 1973, the Planning Commission approved the project at a cost of about Rs 25 crores.  Silent Valley is home to the largest population of lion-tailed macaque. They are among the world's rarest and most threatened primates After the announcement of imminent dam construction the valley became the focal point of Save Silent Valley Movement, India's fiercest environmental debate of the decade. Because of concern about the endangered lion-tailed macaque, the issue was brought to public attention. Romulus Whitaker, founder of the Madras Snake Park and the Madras Crocodile Bank, was probably the first person to draw public attention to the small and remote area.[1] In 1977 the Kerala Forest Research Institute carried out an ecological impact study of the Silent Valley area and proposed that the area be declared a biosphere reserve. In 1978 Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India, approved the project, with the condition that the state government enact legislation ensuring the necessary safeguards. Also that year the IUCN (International Union of conservation of nature) passed a resolution recommending protection of lion-tailed macaques in Silent Valley and Kalakkad and the controversy heated up. In 1979 the Government of Kerala passed legislation regarding the Silent Valley Protection Area (Protection of Ecological balance Act of 1979) and issued a notification declaring the exclusion of the hydroelectric project area from the proposed national park.

    One of the pristine and rich rainforests remaining in India. To be frank this forest is not tourist centred as the flora and fauna preservation is the key here. This national park is famous for lion tailed macaques and giant squirrels but is home to most of the animals found in western ghats. If you are expecting only animal spotting you would get disappointed in the most cases. But if you are here to enjoy the forest you are the best place in south India. I would say. Please book online atleast in a week advance for forest Safari by jeep which would cost around 650 per head. The reporting place for safari is silent valley information centre in mukkali. If you want a thrilling and informative ride please ask for Mr Saji as a taxi driver and I bet you will be amazed with the knowledge he has. Jeep ride is around 23 kms and 1.5 km trek to river face . Buses are less to this place best way to reach would be by car.

    Simple and Scenic place full of wildlife, it is a must visit. There are many rare species of flora and fauna here such as the Lion tailed macacue, Flying squirrel, Pink orchid, etc... To visit this place prior registration is required at the office and you will also get Jeep facility there.(Also no food or drink facility inside so bring your own food. Plastic is prohibited inside so keep wrappers in your pockets.) I advise to wear full length boots as there are countless leeches out there which crawl into your body and suck blood no matter how fast you trek.

    This national park has some rare species of flora and fauna. It is open on all days except Friday. Safari ride starts from 8 am to 5 pm and the vehicles have to return by 5 pm maximum. You can enter the park anytime during the given time slot however you need to adhere to the park timings. one needs to pay a nominal fee of INR 50/- per person as entry charges at the Silent Valley Park. The park is rich in its wildlife, and elephants, lion-tailed macaques and tigers are the most common denizens of this park.

    There is nothing much to say about the place. Bottom side having booking office, it was free due to covid. Booked a jeep for people costed 3500 rs and cameras extra 45 rs. Trip is 5 hours, a jeep will be allotted for a people of 5, 46 kms up and down off road drive this covers around 3 hours, inbetween we can small water falls. On top there is a watch tower from there we can have a whole view of the place, a river running in valley. A 1.5 km trek to watch the river for swim not allowed. The trek route is full of leeches, couldn’t feel it struck to the skin and sucks blood. It’s advisable to have full socks covering till pant and boots to wear with protects leeches to enter skin. The leeches made the whole trip worst.

    The Silent Valley National Park is an evergreen tropical forest in Kerala that came into the attention of media and environmental activists when a plan for a hydroelectric plant threatened to flood a large portion of the forest. A movement in 1973 was started to save the natural habitat of the Lion-tailed Macaque, an Old World Monkey, which is indigenous to Kerala. After the tireless efforts of environmentalists, the forest was declared a national park in 1984. The Silent Valley National Park stands as one of the last untouched tracts of Southern Western Ghats, and forms the core of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    The ride in jeep through the forest was nice. We couldn't see wild animals except karingurang(Nilgiri langur). They said animals are seen mostly in the summer season. The view from the top of watch tower was really beautiful. As we visited in rainy season, leeches were a little bit scary. After a 1.5 km walking from the watch tower, there was Kunthi river view.

    This is not every travellers spot ... One of the best experience ever. Adventure Drive, Forest, The walk, Animals ... More over Fresh Air and Water. The Ride itself is thrilling and the atmosphere is so calm that you can hear everything. Trees Hustling, Wind, Flowing water, Birds ... The 20 km ride and 1 Km on foot

    Silent Valley National Park is a pristine and biodiverse national park located in the state of Kerala, India. It is renowned for its untouched natural beauty, dense forests, and rare species of flora and fauna. The park is named "Silent Valley" due to the absence of the sound of cicadas, which was noticed by British visitors in the past.

    Really good place. They'll take us into the forest I mean the real FOREST. I am really happy with their service. They show us and tell us thee specifications of the forest with disturbing the forest eco system. Some times, if we are lucky we are able to see animals like lion tailed macaque, indian giant squirrel, etc... Our guide told us that there are tigers, elephant, etc.., but mostly, they keep themselves away from humans.

    I had been to Silent Valley 7 years ago. It was my school trip and we had fun. Very peaceful to spend time there. Being on top of the watch tower was bliss and an amazing view of the beauty of SV. Great place to enjoy the flora and fauna of the western ghats. I would recommend each of you to experience the adventurous Silent Valley.
