Explanation
The Blue Mountains are the Nilgiri Hills of Tamil Nadu. The Todas are the pastoral tribe traditionally inhabiting the Nilgiri plateau, noted for their distinctive barrel-vaulted huts and buffalo-centred culture. The Lambadas (Banjaras) are found mainly in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka; the Gonds are the great tribal group of central India (Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra); and the Jarawas are an indigenous people of the Andaman Islands. Hence the tribe dominantly found in the Blue Mountains is the Todas.
