Agasthyakoodam

Agasthyakoodam is the second highest peak in Kerala and is also a part of Sahyadri range of mountains, at a height of 1890 metres above sea level. Teeming with wildlife, the forests of Agasthyakoodam abound in rare medicinal herbs and plants and brilliantly hued orchids. A bird watchers paradise, this legendary mountain is accessible by foot from Kotoor, near Neyyar Dam, as also from Bonacaud. The season from December to April is advocated for trekking.
This peak lies in Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala, India and is a part of the Agasthyamala Biosphere Reserve, which lies at the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. UNESCO has added Agasthyamala Biosphere Reserve to its World Network of Biosphere Reserves in March 2016.
