The Nalaknad (also known as Nalnad - meaning 4 villages) palace at the foothills is an important historical landmark. This was one of the landmarks mapped during the Great Trigonometric Survey.

It is a place of interest for trekkers and naturalists. The climb to the top and back can be completed as a day hike(within 5hrs) and the entry is closed at 5:00 pm; camping is banned since December 2016.The best time to visit the peak is July-end to September(after monsoon) as greenery is observed well in these months.

The name Tadiandamol literally means largest base (thadi = broad, large, huge; anda = belonging to (possessive) in Kodava; mol = hill, base, peak). It loosely means Tallest Mount,^[2] and the name also could translate as Broad Hill.^[3]
