For as long as I can remember, this beautiful hill temple has been beckoning me. But as popular folklore has it, only if the deity chooses can one see him. I finally got my long-awaited call unexpectedly last Wednesday. The temple is situated in Madukkarai and open from 6.30 am. It is accessible only via steps. Ascend a thousand steps and you reach the temple which is on top of the hill. Thoughtfully placed stone/concrete benches and overhead shades are there every few steps for those who can't climb all the steps in one go. The view as one climbs higher and higher is just too good. From the top one can see for many many miles...just breathtaking!! The temple is believed to be anywhere between 500-1000 years old. Lord Shiva is the presiding deity. It is a small temple. Construction work is going on to expand the facilities. Very few devotees are there, so one is able to pray in peace to one's heart's content. Folklore also has it that the Lord here fulfills our innermost desires if we pray with piety. After spending a peaceful hour there with the Lord, descended the steps with a feeling of elation that at long last had finally got a darshan of the deity.

This temple is dedicated to lord shiva. This temple is located on a hill. This temple is surrounded by beautiful sceneries. Open during morning and evening. Advisable to go on a Pournami (Full moon) day. It will take 25-30 min to climb. Carry some water while going. The scenery from mountain top is good. The mountain stands alone from the other western Ghats mountains nearby.

This place is breathtaking in clear sky please visit this temple morning or evening exactly at golden over for perfect view. Other than that the temple is under forestry so it won't be open if it's foggy and rainy. It's definitely a tough one to climb and it will be a good experience for sure. And this picture was taken by Cymatics Drones channel visit the channel for full video. 🥰✨ Enjoy the view 🥳

It is nice place in south India. Surroundings natural view and mountains range are more attractive to you. Maximum upstairs are 1000 and above. You can go morning 6 to 8 am. It's time comfortable for you. Thank you. Joy Mahakal.

Temple of beloved lord Shiva! A visitor will definitely have a refreshing experience throughout walking towards the hill top. Allowed hours morning 7 to 12 pm and then evening 3 to 5:30 pm. For men, no shorts allowed.

Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva (Dharmalingeshwarar) on top of a small hill. Place is near to Coimbatore City (Approximately 13 km from city centre) and is situated in Madukkarai Muncipality. Approximately 800 Steps are there to cover to reach the temple on hilltop (About 30 minutes). Once you reach the top the views are amazing. The temple have a serene atmosphere and it will have a calming effect on you especially when there is not much crowd and noises around. On week days there won't be much crowd in the temple.

It took almost 30 min to climb the top of the temple, it was a nice experience and feel by reaching the temple. The view from the top is awesome.

It is nice place to view the nature scene, more than 1300 upstairs in the mountain. First time commers please avoid afternoon 12 to 4 pm, because that time path is too hot

Temple of lord Shiva located in the outskirts of coimbatore. Temple is over a small hill. Can be claimed with minimal effort

The temple is located on top of a mountain. If you can climb the stairs you should climb till the end and see the worthy amazing nature creations from the top.. Also the Coimbatore and other cities. The view is worth your hardwork to get up there, there is an amazing temple at the top where you can see a statue of lord siva. There are multiple lords (different lords temples) in the beginning of the journey. There is a way around the temple where you can have an amazing trucking path while experiencing the beautiful valleys and mountains along with a railway. I would recommend you to go here, this place is not only for praying... There are way more things you can find here. Thank you

Good spiritual place.. Every full moon day very special day for this temple. Here you can go giri valam and you can claim mountain with steps. They provided food and neer Moore.

Good temple with a medium terrain that can be covered in about 30 mins. Situtated on the Palakkad - Coimbatore road near NH566 is accesible by road till the foot hill. Free parking is available. RO water access is on the way side while you climb, still can carry water along with you on a safer side.

Super scenic place 1000 step need to hike

it has always been special to visit this hilltop temple. serene and calm surrounding makes our mind peaceful and relieved. climbing the steps could be challenge for few. there is seating space at frequent intervals. please note to start climbing by 6am so that you reach the top comfortably. remember to carry water. prasadam is served on sunday and special days. construction materials are carried by pilgrims. that is one way to participate in ongoing construction. CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS RENOVATION AND EXTENSION WORKS GOING ON. LET US ASSIST TO EARLY COMPLETION OF WORKS.

Nice view from the top.The wind is always caressing us. Its a good vibe. And the positive energy of the temple.

Lord Shiva Temple. Located in Madukkarai, Coimbatore District... People Must visit this temple to get a positive energy.

Very Steep Hill. Similar to 1st hill of Velliangiri Hills. But very broad steps. Approximately 850 steps. Will sweat a lot. On the way, rest places/mandapams are there to the top. Temple work is going on at the top. Went during evening time. At the bottom, they close the entry at 5 pm and at top by 5.30 pm. Temple people say animals like elephant, Leopard, orangefox, etc., will roam after the temple closing time, and hence, they announce to leave quickly and also watch us through cctvs From the top, the view is good and a good amount of air can be experienced. Overall, it was a good hike with Dharmalingeswarar darisanam. During pournami, girivalam cm be done between 7 and 5 pm. Take enough amounts of water for the hike, though water taps are there on the way. Enough space is there for parking four & two wheelers. At the bottom, pooja item aeeling jop is there. Also, an ice cream shop is there. Taking it after the hike will neutralise all the efforts. Ha ha.

Excellent pilgrimage to acquire the blessings of lord Shiva, vinayagar and lord murugan. But if you want to go to the top of the mountain climb early morning 7 so you can easily reach the temple. An announcement also next month May 5 girivalam is going to be conducted there.

A peaceful place to go and spend some time with yourself or family. Morning 6.30am-1pm and 3pm-5.30pm is the timing to go to the top

Very calm and satisfied dharshan. Climate and pure air with moving mist take us to lord Shiva's feet. First time experience was awesome.purely peace of mind.

Temple is situated at a very high altitude and has great views. Could see the entire nearby locality. Has to climb 1000 steps to reach the highest point where the religious rituals are being done. Popular among local people. Best time to visit is during early morning and evening.

A very beautifully maintained shrine... Development works on the fly... The steps and the entire temple maintenance is on-going. Will be very good by 2022. Walking up is a task definitely not recommended for elderly. But sun shades and resting places available at interminent locations on the way up. No possibility for vehicle travel uphill.

Around 900 steps. Beautiful place and beautiful temple. I have attached the bank details for this temple

Right now construction is going on. Very good place.little risky in one zone where steps are sculpted in stone.

Hilly Temple located on palakkkad main road NH47. The main deity othere is Lord Shiva. Pournami (Full Moon) and Pradosham days have special poojas. Every Sunday Early Morning there is Surya Pooja. Steps are there for most part of the hill and it can be climbed in 15-30 minutes.Hope this informative

Nice temple ?

Peaceful

Located on top of a hill, it is quite a task to reach the top climbing the steps. But there are resting places built at regular intervels to help devotees. At the top of the hill is a small Siva temple which will be open in mornings and evenings. It is worth the visit to the temple.The view from the top is splendid. The ideal time of visit would be early morning before the sun rays heat up the rocks making it impossible to climb up and down.

Visiting this temple is good for health and mind full awesome experience

Early morning time...very pleasant to visit. Basement there is a Vinayagar temple. Prayers Offered here will be definitely answered, it's a strong belief.💐💐💐🔱🙏 Construction of temple on top of the hill still ongoing, while the steps work seems already completed. Nice ariel view from the top👌

Great place and orthodex worship place... Must to visit

Nice experience..a tiny temple at top of the hill with calm atmosphere, must visit temple in CBE, Om Nama Shivaya🙏

Sivan has an amazing temple here, and I can see that it is constantly being improved. The foothills offer shelter for strangers, Annathana Koodam (Food), coffee, ice cream, and snacks. Very importantly drinking water in the hills is available, and Iyer (Pandit/Pujari) is so kind. Today sweet and karam pongal was tasty, Upma also I loved. Enjoy the amazing view from the top of the hills, If you are lucky you can see the full train view from the top (I'm lucky) ☺️

Excellent temple to visit. Morning time will be preferable to visit. Climbing will be a little challenging for those having health issues. The rest of us can climb with short rest in between. While climbing, use zig zag way in steps, it will help. A few lapses of steps are steep. For regular climbers it will be very easy. The view from the top is awesome. The place is calm and breezy in mid noon too. I have got a very special spiritual feel here.

when i travelling through Coimbatore nh i saw this temple on hills so i felt that to visit this temple . so i went there it ti 1/2hour to reach top of the temple in evening good place to spen your time I thought when i reach to i can see other mountains from there but we are stright entering to the temple there is no space to see other mountains as a travel that time i felt very sad because i came to top to see other mountains but that is not happen. but view from top of the temple is decent you can see one hills nearby, a railway sation and city 👍🏽 ( sorry that I didn’t came here to pray i just wanted to see other mountains but if isn’t happpen ☹️)

Siva temple.. calm and divine place. Slight Challenge in climbing the mountain for those who have health issues or fat people.

Located very close to Coimbatore is a hill temple. This temple can be reached only by climbing the stairs. It is considered one of the most peaceful temples. It is also my favorite temple. Sometimes it is surrounded by clouds and it looks beautiful. From the top of this temple, the southern temple looks very beautiful. As this temple is located in the Palakkad Pass, sometimes it is very windy here. I have posted the meeting here from what time to what time it opens with a photo Thank you bye green trips team 😊

One of the greenest hill. Its take 35-45minites to reach the temple through steps. Carry small water bottle along with you. Nowadays the temple is opened upto evening 5:00pm. Located near to kochin - Salem highway. You can see the birdeye view of highway and south coimbatore from temple. Safe place for kids and women. So many rest places along with the climbing route.

Super place

My stress relieve

Very favorite and mind relaxing spot. Really a powerful shivan temple. We used to go here in alternate weeks. Plan to visit the temple by early morning (around 6.30am). Start by 5am from Coimbatore, it takes 1hr to reach temple bottom. It will take a 30mins to reach hill top (Temple) by walk (without slippers). So if planned late 10am definitely feel the heat in steps. so its better to visit earlier in morning, around 7am there will be a special Pudjai in temple. That too in Sunday early morning we might get Temple Prasadam, it will be like anything. take some drinking water, so that could take a rest in temple for few time. Sometime nearby college students also taken here by management to refresh their mind. Apart from spiritual prayers and believes, we choose this temple to visit only because of very good physical health activity, fresh air and very good drive from Coimbatore. At early morning the wind will be so pure and pleasant, everyone will like the two wheeler drive from Coimbatore or else from Walayar at that time. During October to December climate will be superv and the view from the temple will be awesome, could see the entire south Coimbatore from there. For those who early feel to go out of home from regular office stress and routine activity and within 1 hour to 2 hour drive from Coimbatore, should try to visit the place at least once (Sunday early morning), from then will definitely visit every Sunday.

Peace

The scenic view is pleasant to watch at the top. After a hard working day climbing this hill could give you instant pump. Good warm up for our body. As well as you could experience a divine aura around this temple. Possibly for a sunset, you will love the green pastures on one side and national highway on the other side.

Good place

This temple is so peaceful and the view from top of the hill will be awesome and this is a must visit place for great spritual experience.

Om namah shivaya Situated at hill top near Palakad-Coimbatore highway ,treaking to the temple by steps of about 600 m uphill ,best time to visit is before 6:00am.

Very beautiful place, better visit between 4 to 6 pm you can see whole madukkarai city and Coimbatore city

Clean way too the temple. Need to climb the stairs to teach the top where the shrine is located. Nice view from top ?

Fantastic place. One has to climb up the stairs from parking lot. It's good climb of approx 200m. The view from top is fantastic. But too much construction happening in temple complex might actually kill the beauty of it.

Temple is very nice and were we go to the temple we have peaceful maind. I often go their.

Small hilly area takes just 10 to 15 mins to reach the temple

Great place to visit. Dharmalingamalai Shivan (Shivalinga) temple madukarai, Coimbatore. It's also beside to the NH 4. Temple is on the top of the hill. To reach the temple, need to be climb around 950 steps. Once you reach temple. It's an great pleasure and relaxed. However, better to visit morning and evening because sunny.

Nice Place. Narrow Road. Crowded on Full Moon day. Girivalam available on selected days. Peace to Mind and Body. Great Holy place to visit.

Nice climb

Loved it

Beautiful place..the steps have been constructed..

Osm temple

?

View from the top is good

Really calm and great place to meditate or sit in peace After the climb up, the view is surreal Even if you are a non-believer, try to visit for the experience

The temple is accessible only via steps. Around thousand steps and you reach the temple top of the hill. Thoughtfully placed stone/concrete benches and overhead shades are there every few steps for those who can't climb all the steps in one go. From the top, the view is just too good!! The temple is believed to be anywhere between 500-1000 years old. Lord Shiva is the presiding deity. One can be able to pray in peace to one's heart's content. It is not allowed to climb the mountain after six in the evening. There are many bus facilities, auto and call taxi facilities to reach this place from Coimbatore.
