Sirumalai Forest Reserve

The information in this post might be outdated
Located around 451 Kms from Chennai, this mountainous range is located very close to Dindigul. It is famous for the Agasthiarpuram temple which has been inhabited by monks since ancient times. With a strong British history in the region, you will find antique colonial bungalows and churches (some abandoned and covered in creepers) that are perfect for those Instagram stories. The forest is known for its botanical heritage and is home to many medicinal plants, thanks to the generations of monks.
