Siruvani Hills, Palakkad
Last Friday, I went to Palakkad with some friends to attend a friend’s wedding. His wedding was on Saturday, so we had a full day to spend there. Our plan was to visit Siruvani Dam, but couldn’t go past the forest department check post as we did not have a sanction letter from the district forest officer. Sp we just enjoyed our ride and clicked some pics. Here are some snaps I took in my mobile phone camera.

AWESOMENESS.

I am very much interested and will go there once the school get over

Thanks Aravind.
Siruvani dam is about 48 Kms from Palakkad.
I use Sony Ericsson P1i. It’s a pretty good camera phone when used for bright/sunny day time shots.

What are the transportation facilities available ?
Yes. P1i is great. I’ve used it for some time.

We went there in a taxi arranged by my friend. His place (Karimba) is close to Mannarkkad (about 40 mins journey from Palakkad).

Wow. Definitely a place to be checked out.
Will visit there in April/May.

I think summer won’t be a good time to visit. Either go there after the monsoon (then the whole forest area would be green) or in December/January.

Is this place in Kerala? Give some details about the location and what is the nearest city?
Very nice! What kind of wild life does it have?

Yeah, it is in Kerala. In Palakkad district. It is about 40 minutes of journey from Palakkad town. Don’t know about the wild life it has.

Thanks Ramya.
Sandeep: Yeah, better to go there after the monsoon. And make sure you get a sanction letter from the DFO of Palakkad before going there.

We feel as we enjoyed when looking ur picture. last week we went Silent Valley neares siruvani dam, Now we would like to go siruvani. Do u have any ideas, how to get sanction letter from District Officer to reach siruvani dam?

I think you should ask for the district forest office. Perhaps the Palakkad district site may have that info.
