With the Mangalam Falls coming alive at Pachamalai, the Forest Department has reopened the little-known picnic spot in Tiruchi district for visitors. The falls recently got a new access road from Chinnamangalam Road, providing a shorter and easy access to visitors from Top Sengattupatti.
The waterfall is located about 15 km from Top Sengattupatti, which is accessible by road from Tiruchi via Thuraiyur and Uppilliyapuram. From Top Sengattupatti, visitors must pass through Chinna Pakkalam, Periya Pakkalam, and Chinnamangalam to reach the falls, which attracts a steady stream of picnickers whenever there is water flow.
