About Wayanad
The enchanting highland district of Wayanad is an eco-tourism haven uniquely nestled at altitudes ranging from 700 to 2100 meters above sea level. The name is elegantly derived from the local Malayalam words 'Vayal' and 'Nadu' , which beautifully translate to mean "The Land of Paddy Fields." Historically and archaeologically rich, the district houses the famous Edakkal Caves , which preserve globally significant Neolithic rock carvings dating back over 8,000 years. The local economy is heavily driven by agriculture, filling the cool mountain air with aromas from extensive plantations of robusta coffee , black pepper, tea, and rare cardamoms. For nature lovers, Wayanad offers deep wilderness exploration inside the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve) and beautiful sights like the heart-shaped lake at Chembra Peak and the massive mud structure of the Banasura Sagar Dam .
