A small, border town in Tamil Nadu (The Nilgiris), Erumad is also the first big-small town when you enter Tamil Nadu from Thaloor side in Kerala (Waynad Dt). Essentially a tea growing area, this place being very close to Gudalur and Ooty and hence has pleasant climate all year through.
There are schools, government run colleges, tea factories, tea estates in the area – essentially a self contained little border town.
