📜 Historical Context

Thalanar Snow Point is situated in the Valparai region, part of the Anamalai Hills, which historically sustained indigenous tribes like the Malasar and Pulayar through traditional farming.

The modern history of the area is largely shaped by the British colonial era, when large-scale deforestation in the mid-19th century made way for tea and coffee plantations. Thalanar itself was historically an estate involved in coffee cultivation, and the region is now famous for its lush tea gardens, a direct legacy of this plantation history.
