Athigaratty (also known as Adigaratty) is a hamlet located in the Nilgiri Hills in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India.[1]

Athigaratty is located 10 km from Udagamandalam and 18 km from Coonoor. It is one of the largest Badaga Hattis (villages) in the Nilgiris in terms of the number of houses, next only to village of Nanjanadu. The major occupation of the Athigarattyians is tea plantation. The local dialect of the Nilgiris, Badaga, is spoken here. Athigaratty is popular for its 'Ther Abba'(Ther=chariot, Abba=Festival), an annual carnival which draws a large crowd from around the Nilgiris.
