Vandicholai is a Panchayat village in Coonoor Taluk of The Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu, India.[1] The settlement takes its name from a nearby Shola (indigenous forest). The Chinna Vandicholai (Small Vandicholai) is a settlement adjoining Wellington Cantonment. The village gets its name from the conjunction of two Badaga words [bandu+so:le; 'moth+woods'].[2]
