The name derives from its appearance from the grass with prominent whiskers (meesa - mustache; pul - grass; mala - hill/mountain). It is located in between the Anaimalai Hills and Palani Hills near Suryanelli around 20 km away from Munnar. The Kolukkumalai tea estate, Top Station and Tipadamala (2135 m) is also nearby.
