The forested hills surrounding the Azhagar Kovil temple, 21 km north of Madurai, form a lush reserve forest traversed by a river and home to a rich variety of resident and migratory birds. The road from Madurai to the temple passes through this forest corridor, making it a popular drive and birdwatching destination. The Poondi tank along the Alagarkoil Road is particularly noted among birders, with over 2,500 birds recorded in a single census.
