The Nilgiris
The Nilgiris is in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The Nilgiri (Blue Mountains), is the name given to a range of mountains spread across the borders among the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. The Nilgiri Hills are part of a larger mountain chain known as the Western Ghats. Administrative headquarters of Nilgiris is located at Ooty (Ootacamund or Udhagamandalam) and other main towns in the Nilgiris are Coonoor, Kotagiri, Gudalur and Wellington.
The Nilgiris is basically a horticulture district, includes over 100 species of mammals, 350 species of birds, 80 species of reptiles, about 39 species of fish, 31 amphibians and 316 species of butterflies. Its also very rich in plant diversity, over 3,300 species of flowering plants can be seen here. Of the 3,300 species, 132 are endemic to the reserve, 160 species of fern and fern allies, countless types of flowerless plants, mosses, fungi, algae, and land lichens are found in the sholas of the Nilgiris. No other hill station has so many exotic species.
The elevation of the Nilgiris results in a much cooler and wetter climate than the surrounding plains, so the area is popular as a comfortable retreat and is good for tea cultivation. Its economy is based on commodity crops of tea, coffee, and spices such as pepper, cardamom, cloves, Garcinia gummi-gutta, Ginger, Nutmeg, Turmeric, Vanilla, Cinnamon and many more. The area also produces Eucalyptus oil, lemon grass oil and temperate-zone vegetables.
