📜 Historical Context

The Moyar River, a significant tributary of the Bhavani River, originates from Moyar town and forms a natural boundary between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and Bandipur National Park and Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary. The Moyar River Gorge, a remarkable geological formation stretching 20 km with a near-vertical drop of 260 meters, is where the Moyar River plunges as Moyar Falls.

The rocks in the region are ancient, dating back 2.6–3.0 billion years, sitting on the Moyar Shear Zone. The name 'Moyar' is believed to derive from Tamil words meaning 'which disappears suddenly' and 'river'. The Moyar Valley is an ecologically vital part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, a critical habitat for wildlife including tigers, elephants, gaurs, and a significant breeding population of critically endangered Gyps vultures.
