In this post, we will see about the tribal village of Athuvalavu, which is located in the Kalvarayan mountain range of Kallakurichi district.In a village of only 11 houses, 10 houses are situated on one side and one house alone in the dense forest.In that one house, an elderly couple lives by farming and collecting food items needed for a year.These houses have no electricity and the roads are very rough tracks.We have clearly explained the lifestyles of the tribal people in this post.To reach this house one has to cycle for a certain distance and walk for an hour through the dense forest crossing a river.In these couples, the house becomes a separate island if there is a lot of water in the river during the mountain seasons.In this video, you can see how this couple lives their lives in the dense forest by following the self-reliance system without any basic facilities.
The Kalrayan Hills are a major range of hills situated in the Eastern Ghats of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Along with the Pachaimalai, Alavaimalai, Javadi, and Shevaroy hills, they separate the Kaveri River basin to the south from the Palar River basin to the north. The hills range in height from 2000 feet to 3000 feet and extend over an area of 1095 square kilometres.
The hills straddle a number of Tamil Nadu districts, extending northeast from the Salem District. The range serves as a boundary between the Salem and Kallakurichi districts. The Kalrayans are divided into two sections - the northern section, referred to as the Chinna ("little") Kalrayans, and the southern section, called the Periya ("big") Kalrayans. The Chinna Kalrayans average 2700 feet in height, while the Periya Kalrayans average 4000 feet.
The range as a whole is fairly smooth, with soil well-suited for plant growth. Scrub and bushes jungles reach up to 400 metres in altitude, while deciduous forests can be found between above 800 metres. Sholas, a type of high-altitude stunted evergreen forest, can be found growing on isolated plateaus. Though the forest stand is growing, due to "habitat uniqueness, human impacts and cultural tradition," conservation efforts are needed.
There are ten waterfalls in the Kalrayan Hills namely maankombu waterfalls, periyar waterfalls, megam waterfalls and when the people come to visit during the winter season only water flow on the falls. The way to the falls is unsafe and it does not have any proper roads and it is not safe for the people. The climate is moderate highly 27 °C and lowly 19 °C. In the hills being people are called tribal (Malayali).
