Moyar
<p>In Tamil, <em>Moyar</em> means ‘the river that disappears’, and so it does! Often hidden under dense vegetation, the Moyar river nurtures a unique riverine habitat. In summer, the valley transforms into a dry, arid landscape, punctuated by a lush, green ribbon of riparian vegetation that fringes the river. An amazing wilderness, the Moyar can be seen from space as a 22 km.-long scar on the north face of the Nilgiri massif.</p>
