Silent Valley National Park

Silent Valley National Park is a protected tropical rainforest located in Kerala, India, renowned for its pristine ecosystem and rich biodiversity. Covering about 898 square kilometers, it is home to rare plants, animals, and bird species, including the endangered Nilgiri Langur and Malabar Giant Squirrel. The park's name comes from the absence of noisy cicadas in its dense, untouched forests. It plays a crucial role in conserving regional flora and fauna, maintaining ecological balance, and supporting scientific research. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site candidate, Silent Valley exemplifies the importance of preserving natural habitats for future generations.
