Anamalai

Anamalai (Annamally, »Elefantenberge«), isoliertes, zu den Westghats gerechnetes Bergland im Distrikt Koimbator des britisch-indischen Tributärstaats Travankor, 80 km lang, 50 km breit, in einzelnen Spitzen bis über 2000 m hoch. Es ist am Fuß von dichten, höchst ungesunden Dschangeln bekleidet, in den höhern Lagen aber sehr gesund mit prächtigem Pflanzenwuchs (Tiekbäume, Ingwer, Kardamomen, Pfeffer, Sassaparille). Elefanten, Büffel, Tiger und andre wilde Tiere sind zahlreich; die wenigen menschlichen Bewohner gehören zum Stamm der Toda.
