Location

Sirumalai Hills, Dindigul

Sirumalai Hills, Dindigul

Sirumalai is a region of 60,000 acres (200 km2) situated 25 km (16 mi) from Dindigul and 40 km (25 mi) from Madurai, Tamilnadu, India. There are many high hills in the area. Hillock International School is located in Sirumalai. 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.

The Ghat section begins with a forest check post and the area is surrounded with many farms. Over the uphill drive of 14 kms, the atmosphere changes slowly from dry deciduous forest to semi-green forest. The hairpin bends offer a panoramic view of the hills and one can have a full view of Dindigul town and the rock fort from the third and fifth hair pin bends. The temperature starts falling as one climbs up further and after 10th hairpin bend, the change is palpable.

A watch tower on 17th hairpin bend provides a spot to halt for a while and relish the scene of lush green forest cover below. The 18th hairpin bend leads to a sleepy village called Sirumalai Palaiyur and one can also glimpse posh bungalows on the way. The hill contains a small waterfall as well.

After reaching this place, Entry Fees are levied for Bikes and Cars entering Sirumalai. For Bikes – Rs 10 and Car – Rs 25 are charged. Best time to visit – 3pm to 6pm. At that time you can feel the coolness of the air better. There are No petrol bunks available at the Sirumalai. Since the journey is short, two wheelers itself are more comfortable to travel, rather than travelling through the car. It is better to travel through bike and enjoy the environment and open air. Sirumalai is famous for Jackfruit and Sirumalai Banana (Malai Vaazhaipazham in Tamil) cultivation.

The cool air makes Sirumalai a perfect hill retreat and the mild fragrance of wild flowers and the forest is truly an enthralling experience. Sirumalai consists of the villages of Anna Nagar, Sirumalai Palaiyur, Sirumalai Puthur, Agasthiarpuram, Thenmalai Ooradi, Kadamankulam, Velanpannai, Thalakadai, Thavittukadai, and Ponnurukki. People here are involved in agricultural activities mainly with crops like lemon, coffee, pepper and plantain cultivations.

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.

As the hill retreat is yet to develop fully, travellers are advised to take necessary provisions uphill. Besides, the place also offers a perfect trekking experience. Sirumalai is home to more than 5,000 families live on these hills. They use country horses as a source of transport in order to bring produce to the villages, from where they are then moved in small trucks and buses to the nearby Dindigul town.

The climate is special here and suits most people. It is a pleasant place, facilities like hospitals or boarding facilities for tourists are scarce. There are a few proposals to create a park and boarding facilities for tourists. The inhabitants, mostly people from various tribes speak Tamil.

It's sad that 500 acres belonging to the Horticulture Department remain under-utilized. Only one-fifth of the area has been used to raise eucalyptus, silver oak, lemon and black pepper.

Climate

Sirumalai Weather is tropical in nature. Summers are dry and hot and the temperature reaches upto 40 ºC. Sirumalai Weather during winters is generally cool and the temperature is around 20 ºC.

History

The hill finds mention in the Tamil classics such as the Silappadikaram. Kannagi is believed to have stayed here when she came to Madurai. Sirumalai is also mentioned in the Ramayana.

Legend has it that when Hanuman returned from Sri Lanka, carrying the Sanjeevi Hill, a piece of it dropped here and it came to be known as Sirumalai. Ancient books on Ayurveda cite Sirumalai as being home to many medicinal plants. Siddha medicine is said to have been developed in these hills by the sages a thousand years ago.

Sirumalai Banana

The Sirumalai plantain is famous in the locality. The famous Sirumalai banana is slowly disappearing due to disease, which scientists have been unable to prevent. The famous Sirumalai banana, popularly known as ‘Malai Vazhai' and used in the ‘Panchamirtham' made in the Palani temple, is grown here. Sirumalai hills bananas are exported to Foreign countries from past.

Activities

The salubrious climate round the year makes Sirumalai a perfect heat-buster for city-slickers. The hill is divided into three main regions — Sirumalai, Sirumalai Pudur and Agasthiar Malai — inhabited by 5,000 families. Walk along the periphery of the forest in Agasthiar Malai and you discover it's a storehouse of herbs. There is ample scope for trekking here. For adventure-seekers, trekking routes are marked through the forests that are home to a variety of birds and animals. The Selvi Koil Point offers a beautiful view of Dindigul and the Chinnamalai town below.

The farming methods are completely organic here on these hills. The place is cheap and convenient compared to other hill stations. It is 1,200 metres high and spreads over 60,000 acres. A third of this greenery is private revenue land on which they grow coffee, cardamom, black pepper, banana and lemon. Sirumalai will be declared a reserved forest area soon, which means restricted entry. Rosewood trees, besides silver oak, nellikai and katakai trees, grow in these thick forests. Another important thing to be noted is many rare herbs are available in Sirumalai hill. Hence, Sirumalai hill is very popular among the Siddha medical practitioners.

In the region of Sirumalai, the Agasthiarpuram is a holy place & people believe that the siddhas (monks) are living since ancient days. Also the area surrounded with lot of medicinal herbs and plants. The famous Lord Murugan temple (Vellimalai Murugan Temple) is located in the mountain which can be reached within 45 minutes climbing over the valley. Thenmalai is yet to be connected with road. Bisons, Deer (Kada Maan) and forest goat (kelai adu) and so many birds and small animals can be seen in this jungle.

Boating on the Sirumalai Lake is one activity within the area. Since there are mountains, hiking, mountaineering and trekking are also encouraged. This place is also a haven for bird watchers. You can spot more colourful flowers and herbs in the wilderness than within the gated property. In the land belonging to the Sericulture Department, Mulberry is raised on 10 acres, and two lakh tonnes of cocoons are produced annually.

It's impossible to miss the sounds of Nature — the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects keep us company as we walk down a winding road that takes us to a privately constructed artificial lake where boating is being promoted. It is noon, and suddenly the place is enveloped in fog and the lake and the horizon seem to merge. There is a chill in the air, reducing visibility to 50 metres.

Best time to Visit

The climate is moderate throughout the year because of the height and the dense forest. It is generally misty in the mornings and evenings.
