SIRUMALAI - TAMIL NADU
Sirumalai is a region of 60,000 acres situated 25 km from Dindigul, 90 km from Madurai, and 125 km from Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India. There are many high hills in the area. Sirumalai range is the last mountain range of the Eastern Ghats. The last mountains of the Sirumalai mountain range are the Azhagar Kovil Hills which are present in Madurai District. Azhagar Kovil Hills are the most important place of worship for the Hindu religion. Trekking is allowed in the Azhagar Kovil Hills. The nearest Eastern Ghats hills to Sirumalai Hills are the Narthamalai Hills.
Sirumalai is a dense forest region with a moderate climate throughout the year. With an altitude of 1600 metres above sea level, it contains diversified flora and fauna. The hill has 18 hairpin bends. On the 18th bend are a church and a viewpoint of Dindigul city and the Dindigul Rock Fort. The hill contains a small waterfall as well. The famous Sirumalai banana is slowly disappearing from disease, which scientists have been unable to prevent.
Man-made fires on the hills have destroyed medicinal plants and threatened the fauna habitat. Fires are often set to promote vegetation growth used for animal fodder, clear land for cultivation, or improve access to timber.
Attractions- Sirumalai Lake contains a small lake that was artificially created in the year 2010.
In the region of Sirumalai, the Agasthiarpuram is a holy place where Siddhas (monks) have lived since ancient times. The area is surrounded by medicinal herbs and plants. At the top of the hill is the historic Shiva Lingam, which dates back at least 500 years.
The famous Lord Murugan temple (Vellimalai Sivan Temple) is located in the mountain which is away from 45 minutes of climbing over the valley.
Flora and fauna- Much of the Sirumalai are covered by deciduous forests – the lower slopes by dry deciduous and the higher slopes and riverine valleys by moist and wet deciduous forests. This area is famous for its banana species (malai vazhai). Trees such as Terminalia, shorea, and magnolia champaca are dominant in these hills. Other rare plants such as lianas and orchids also occur in the higher elevation evergreen tracts. Coffee estates form a major portion of the present-day landscape. These reserve forests are protected by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department.
A rich animal life including threatened animals such as the slender loris, gaur, sambar deer, sloth bear, Asian palm civet, Indian hare, jungle cat and Indian pangolin is to be seen in the wild. Birds such as Indian peafowl, Asian koel, Indian grey hornbill and even the endemic blue-winged parakeet are found in these forests. Threatened reptiles such as the python molurus, Indian star tortoise, and venomous snakes such as the Indian cobra, Russell's viper, common krait and the endemic bamboo pit viper and the little-known striped coral snake are found here. Lizards such as the Bengal monitor, the Indian chameleon, the flying lizard, common green forest lizard, lesser snake-eyed Lacerta and Cnemaspis geckoes are to be seen here. Special mention must be made of the only endemic reptile of the hill – the Sirumalai shieldtail snake Uropeltis dindigalensis, which is reportedly not found anywhere else. Rare and endemic amphibians such as golden-backed frogs, Indian frogs, short-webbed frogs and the direct-developing bush frog Pseudophilautus wynaadensis occur here. Myriad forms of lesser-known insects and moths, etc. are present
