This hill is famous for its medicinal plants. The Gandhamardan mountain ranges are a rich source of medicinal plant diversity. According to the Botanical Survey of India, there are 220 plant species with medicinal value.
Locals, on the other hand, claim that there are over 500 species of medicinal plants in this area. The buffer zone’s flora is the most vulnerable.
Many once-abundant medicinal plant species, such as Clerodendron Indicum, Rauvolfia serpentina, and Plumbago zeylanica, have become scarce.
A study found 2,700 angiosperms and 125 species of important medicinal plants out of a total of 220 medicinal, quasi-medicinal, and economically important plants.
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Hanuman hauled this hill from the Himalayas on his shoulders to save Lakshman’s life.
