However, here are some options:
* காடு (Kaadu): This is the most common word for "forest" in Tamil.
* வனம் (Vanam): This word also means "forest" but is slightly more literary and formal.
* அடர்ந்த காடு (Adartha Kaadu): This means "dense forest."
* மலைக் காடு (Malai Kaadu): This means "mountain forest."
The best option will depend on the specific context of your use.
