Pandalur taluk, Administrative district in Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, India.
Pandalur taluk encompasses mountainous terrain at 1100 meters elevation, with extensive tea plantations and dense forest areas covering the landscape.
The region transferred from Wayanad Taluk to the Nilgiris district in 1877, marking a significant administrative change in Tamil Nadu's territorial organization.
Indigenous communities including Paniyas, Kurumbas, and Kattu Nayakkans maintain their traditional practices, languages, and customs within the district.
Visitors can reach Pandalur through regular government bus services from Ooty at 65 kilometers distance or Gudalur at 23 kilometers away.
Former gold mining sites from the 19th century remain in the area, particularly around Devala, before the region transformed into agricultural production.
