Tirupur: Thirumoorthy Hill is located in the Western Ghats near Udumalaipettai in Tirupur District. The Panchalingam Falls is located at an elevation of 960 m above the mountain.

At the foothills, on the banks of the river there, there are various tourist attractions such as the Amanalingeswarar Temple, Thirumoorthy Dam Park, boat house, swimming pool, aquarium and sports park.



In order to attract more tourists, a study was carried out with the Rural Development Department officials led by District Tourism Officer Arvind Kumar and it has been decided to construct a new eco-park on behalf of the Department of Tourism near the existing swimming pool area under the control of the Rural Development Department.

The swimming pool here is visited by a large number of tourists and their families during the holidays and normal days. Therefore, the Rural Development Department had expressed interest in setting up a new eco-park on two acres of land nearby following which the authorities explored the possibility of setting up one at the site.



District Assistant Tourism Officers Selvaraj, Satish Kumar and tourism enthusiasts Cyril Rufus and Jawahar were present during the inspection.
