Batlagundu

Batlagundu, also called Vathalakundu, lies at the eastern foot of the Palani Hills in southern India. The town stands near the route into the mountains from the plains around Dindigul. Above it the hills rise towards a cooler upland of forests and grassland, while the Vaigai basin extends to the south. Its setting links the agricultural settlements of the low country with the steep approaches to the Palani range.
