Meesapulimala ( Malayalam : മീശപ്പുലിമല) is the second highest peak in the Western Ghats of Idukki district (Kerala) on the Indian subcontinent after Anamudi . Its peak is 2,640 meters (8,661 ft) above sea level. [2] The name derives from the fact that it is formed of eight peaks which spread like a "Moustache" and it is located in between the Anaimalai Hills and Palani Hills near Suryanelli around 20km away from Munnar . Kolukkumalai tea estate, Top Station and Tipadamala (2135m) is also nearby. Treks to the peak via Rhodo Valley (favorable for rhododendron flowers) can be organized through the Kerala Forest Development Corporation in Munnar.
