Sispara Peak is an Indian mountain peak, situated in Tamil Nadu. The elevation of Sispara Peak is 2,206 metres (7,238 ft) and the strategic location of this peak co ordinates 11°12?12?N 76°25?56?E and 11.20333°N 76.43222°E 11.20333; 76.43222. The Sispara Peak lies in the northeast end of Silent Valley National Park, in Kerala state, in the core area of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, in the Western Ghats of South India. Sispara Peak is situated near the southwest end of Mukurthi National Park in Tamil Nadu state.

One can approach this peak by passing northwest up behind the bungalow, and ascending the high bluff below the peak. Half an hour`s walk leads to a vertical cliff of the escarpment facing the plains of Malabar. Numerous lofty trees growing at the foot of the precipice of Sispara Peak reach the brim of this point. A walk along the edge of this escarpment brings one to a massive peaking mass of rock, a few hundred yards from the foot of the highest Sispara Peak, which stands like a battlement on a wall. The view from this point is magnificent, particularly that of the gigantic amphitheatre to the right, the termination of the Koondahs on this side. It is a remarkable view of this stupendous semicircular recess, formed by high lofty mountains, the summits of which rise vertically upto thousands of feet, and whose abrupt sides are deeply eroded by ravines and chasms, down which small but romantic waterfalls precipitate themselves, adding to the magnificence of this stupendous scenery.

Sispara peak is the abode of the Toda tribes and they are said to possess ancestral spirits. It is the second highest peak in the core area of Silent Valley, Anginda peak at 2,383 metres (7,818 ft), being the highest. The forests near Sispara Peak experience the full force of the southwest monsoon and receive up to 250 inches (635 cm) per year of rain, but suffer from a long drought during the winter.

The Sispara peak extends across the northeast over 20 miles (32 km) in a magnificent amphitheatre of cliffs and steep hills in the Nilambur South Forest Division to Mukurthi peak and is the great western escarpment of the Kundah Range. In literary books it is mentioned that there is perhaps no scene in Southern India more grand and imposing than this gigantic escarpment. Rising abruptly from the low jungle covered plains of Malabar, to the lofty surface of the Koondah plateau, an elevation of Sispara peak upto nearly 8,000 feet (2,400 m), a precipitous hill face covered with dense jungle, crumpled but not broken up by countless hill torrents which course down its surface, and sparkle like silver threads in the midst of the dark green foliage of the forest. Sispara peak apparently seems like completely inaccessible from the plains below, and the way is rugged and tough throughout the greater portion of its extent.

Lately, it is only at Sispara Peak that, with considerable engineering skill, a road has been constructed, thus forming a communication between the hills and the low country of Malabar, and it is from this road that the finest view of the escarpment is obtainable.
