It is famous for its clear water and its serene ambiance. Berijam Lake is also home to many animal and plant species, including many bird species, making it a popular birdwatching spot. The forest department at Dindigul has restricted access to Berijam Lake due to its ecological importance. The lake also facilitates the habitat of many animals such as Bison, Indian Elephant, Nilgiri Langur and Deer, and if you’re lucky, you will also be able to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures. Boating has been banned in the lake to preserve the natural freshwater.
