It is a fascinating hill station where you can enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature and get rejuvenated to the hilt. Well-known for its folk tales, legends, mesmerising mountains, dense forests along with aboriginal tribes, tea and spice plantations and much more, this quaint place has much to offer. It covers southern parts of the Deccan plateau including even parts of the Western Ghats.
Some major attractions of Wayanad
Chembra Peak
Located at a height of around 2100 metres near Meppadi town, it is the highest peak in Wayanad. Trekking and camping to the summit of this mountain is an unforgettable journey and it takes a day to climb up and down. Nevertheless, the terrains are rocky and offer challenging rock-climbing experiences along with breathtaking views of the surroundings.
Neelimala
A mountaineer’s delight, it is situated in the south-eastern part of Wayanad and is famous for myriads of trekking routes and splendid surroundings. As one reaches to the top, overwhelming views of the Meenmutty falls and the adjoining valley doesn’t fail to captivate.
Pakshipathalam
Located at a height of above 1700 metres, it covers wide forest areas in the Brahmagiri hills. It also houses deep caves where diverse species of animals, plants and birds are found. Before trekking in this area, tourists are required to seek special permissions from the forest department.
Muthanga Wild Life Sanctuary
Located at a distance of 16 km from Sulthan Bathery, it covers a vast area of around 345 sq. kms. It is also the largest habitat of fauna in the Malabar region. One can view rare species of spotted deer and tigers.
Sentinel Rock Waterfalls
Located near Chooralmala in Meppadi, this beautiful place is both a picnic cum hiking zone. Elevated above 200 metres, it is an ideal place to unwind and enjoy the greenery around.
Edakkal Caves
