Chokramudi Peak Trek

Difficulty: Moderate to high
A part of the Eravikulam National Park, the trek to Chokramudi peak engulfs you in its serenity throughout the walk. Initially, a walk through some plantations starting from the base at Pothamedu, the trail gives way to some difficult ridges, grasslands, and patches of evergreen Shola forests. All the while a cool mountain mist and the emerald green Annamalai range in the background accompany you to the highest elevation. The usual 4-5 hours trek can be extended by covering an extra 1 km walk through very steep and difficult terrain. Being located inside a national park, you will have to complete the formalities and follow their rules strictly. You might meet some wild animals like gaurs and elephants and face a leech attack inside the Shola forests, but with some caution, those should not be a problem in this enticing experience.
