Yeah… I am sure you should know where Siruvani or சிறுவாணி is… it’s a completely galvanizing thrill if you’re taking chances to visit the dam or waterfalls or whatever is around the hill reposing area… Cornucopia of tastiest water, lush vegetation and an unimaginable weather Siruvani forms the appropriate locative spot to hike, trek and bath….
With all convincing potentialities, this place is surrounded by green forests housing lot more than wildlife and trees… Siruvani is located 37 west from Coimbatore with the route mapping areas including Perur-Madampatti-Saadivayal(பேரூர் -மாதம்பட்டி-சாடிவயல் )checkpost and finally Siruvani… I am putting it in the regional language just to ensure at least you comprehend letter shapes from how it’s written on the boards there if on a trip… Siruvani hills, a part of which is Kerala, directs water to Coimbatore with standing best largest water source and supply to the city….
So you could be wondering what makes Siruvani’s water a lot tastier than any other source that travels downhill and serves supply… Undeniable, you’ll find hundreds and thousands of Indian Gooseberry trees if you get to trek uphill on an exceptional permit letter from the collector, you can’t move further until then…I’ve once trekked Siruvani hills with an authorization… well, far neater, I found something amazing with a simpler answer to a Million Dollar question… Incredibly factual, I saw gooseberries all rotting and decomposing over the trees… that was totally phooey… but this rotten stuff was oozing from the trees, falling into the river stream… disgusting though, the official around told me this is what is converting the “all ordinary” siruvani water to the second best tasting water over the world..felt like “mission Accomplished” to me.. People in the foothill villages could know this but not those at far near the main city like me…
You don’t have to feel bad if you aren’t allowed to trek uphill… There’s something more to fathom here…As conventional, it’s to keep the forests and the hill area safe with not lots of trekkers pouring in, exploiting the area and most importantly forest departments never want to provide tourists unsafe travel times… Quite selfish, but an inevitable implement… besides you can’t travel to the Siruvani dam, so don’t tell your trek group that you’re going down to the dam and having fun… With not easier measures you can reach the dam… Needs demanding procedures… Possibly if allowed, tourist traffic can dirty the dam water eventually dirtying the drinking water reserve that moves facing the city…
With all potential explanations, make yourself clear before you decide to trek here… Villages alongside foothills are just amazing… Food tastes a lot tastier than the water you are hunting to know about… I should make a vital mention about this with no bigger description… The water chamber in Siruvani Dam is almost kerala… Such an edge of the border… You can move to kerela with just a 5 minute journey and if you’ve gotten to travel there, you’re the luckiest trekker or discoverer to me… You can see a place called Pattivasal- start of kerala state with fewer settlements that have exclusive rights to come over to the dam… also moving towards the dam from tamil nadu , you’ll locate a handful of villages with tribal people proving dependence on farming…Jot " KOVAI KUTRALAM"- a sure visit... its the falls that come from Siruvani hills(a part of Siruvani water resource)... cascading down the smooth green thickly forested mountain ranges..
