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.
