About Mukurthi National Park
Mukurthi National Park is located on the high altitudes of the Nilgiris, 40 kms from Udhagamandalam.
It contains a viable population of Nigiri Tahr (Hamitrgus-hilocrius)
because of which it was earlier known as the Nilgiri Tahr National
Park.
Located on the high altitudes of the
Nilgiris, comprising rolling downs interspersed with temperate
sholas, this
park is also a part of Nilgiri Bio-sphere...
