The Bhavani River starts from here













Bangithapal is originally called as benki thapal, it was the only path linking Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Kerala, during British days. The post used to be carried on horse back and the thapal was sorted using fire in this spot, hence the name benki thapal(Kannada). It is a Protected national Park and the scenery is wonderful. The trek route starts from here and ends up in silent valley, it is a 3 day Trek route.
