 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. On the 18th bend are a church and a viewpoint of Dindigul city and the Dindigul Rock Fort. The hill contains a small waterfall as well. The famous Sirumalai banana is slowly disappearing from disease, which scientists have been unable to prevent.<ref>{{cite web|author=J Arockiaraj |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-10-06/madurai/34293562_1_banana-cultivation-banana-varieties-farmers-face |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131111103829/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-10-06/madurai/34293562_1_banana-cultivation-banana-varieties-farmers-face |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-11-11 |title=Diseases, low prices affect production of hill bananas |date=2012-10-06 |work=[[The Times of India]] |accessdate=2013-03-04}}</ref>
