A very beautiful hill station in God's Own Country...

From Bangalore... 250kms from Bangalore.. You can reach Wayanad from Bangalore via mysore, gundalpet. Its always better to stay in Kalpetta, as this is a central point from where you can cover most of Wayanad.

One of the must visit place is Manathavady.. On the way you will get worlds second largest dam build with sand.., Banasura Sagar.. Near Mananthavady, you can visit 'Kurava Islands', 'Pazhassi's Tomb' ad the famous Thirunelli temple on the banks of Kabani river. Also there is a sanctuary at Tholpetty, were you can have a ride through the forest.



Pookkode lake near Vythiri..., you can enjoy boating here. Two beautiful waterfalls are there in and around Meppady, Sujippara and Meenmutty. To reach meenmutty you have a 3hour trekking. Also there is a beautiful rose garden at Ambalavayal. The famous Edakkal Caves are also located here. There you can have a trek upto 1000 meters. You will easily spend 5-6 hours at edakkal caves. There is one more dam nearby this place, Karapuzha..



10 kms from Sulthanbathery is the famous Muthanga wild life sanctuary. Also you will get the place where it rains the most in kerala.., Lakkidi.. If you are ready to travel to Calicut from Wayanad.., you will get the beautiful Wayanad churam :-) Its very nice to drive through.., especially if you are coming during early morning.., you can enjoy the scenic beauty..
