Kurumba

Kurumba map

The various Kurumba cultural groups live on the slopes and in the forest areas encircling the Nilgiris in South India. This mountainous massif rises abruptly at the meeting point of three southern states of India; Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu and culminates in a hilly plateau ranging from 2000-2600m in elevation, bordered by steep slopes covered by dense, tropical forest extending to its foothills.
