Wayanad is a beautiful mountainous district in the Malabar region of Kerala located on the western ghats. It is sparsely populated and rural, with most of the land area covered with forests. The district abounds with hill stations , wildlife sanctuaries, rivers, dams, tea estates and trekking opportunities, with temples and heritage locations thrown in for good measure. Spread over 2,132 square kilometres, the district lies at an elevation of 700 metres, with its highest point reaching 2,100.

Wayanad borders Karnataka to its east and Tamil Nadu to its southeast. The districts of Kozhikode , Kannur and Malappuram form its eastern, northern and southern borders respectively. Wayanad is a popular weekend destination for travellers from Bangalore and Mysore .

Cities [ edit ]

Wayanad is divided into three talukas - Vythiri, Mananthavady and Sultan Bathery, named after the towns that serve as their headquarters.

• 11.610278 76.082778 1 Kalpetta - the headquarters and largest city in the district.
• 11.8 76 2 Mananthavady - a little town located on the banks of the river with the same name, home to the Latin church.
• 11.67 76.28 3 Sultan Bathery - gets its name from the time when it was the military outpost of Tipu Sultan's army, where he placed his artillery battery.
• 11.79 76.17 4 Pulpally - small town in a thickly forested area
• 11.5667 76.15 5 Meppadi - scenic village with hiking, mountaineering, and tea estates
• 11.54966 76.03638 6 Vythiri - a hill station and headquarters of the taluka with the same name.

Other destinations [ edit ]

• 11.84763 76.0853 1 Begur Wildlife Sanctuary — has a huge variety of animals such as elephants, deer, tigers, boars, and leopards as well as a diverse population of birds
• 11.646 76.364 2 Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary — at Muthanga, near Sultan Battery , home to large population of elephants, and other wildlife, including some tigers

Understand [ edit ]

Wayanad is the best place in Kerala for hill tourism. Most parts of the district are protected forest and the remaining area is lush green cultivation with a relatively thinner population.

Urbanization has reached only 4% of the district. The altitude reaches up to 2,100 ft in some parts of Wayanad.

History [ edit ]

Wayanad gets its name from Vayal Naadu, or "The land of the paddy fields". It shares much of its history with Karnataka, having been a possession of many of the dynasties that ruled that state, including the Kadambas, the Chalukyas and the Hoysalas. This history accounts for the existence of Jain temples in this region, though Jainism has a negligible presence in modern Kerala.

In the 18th century, the region of Wayanad was at the centre of a tripartite conflict between Hyder Ali (and later his son Tipu Sultan), Pazhassi Raja, a ruler of the kingdom of Kottayam , and the British. Wayanad changed hands multiple times. When it was with Tipu, he stationed his artillery battery in the village we now know as Sultan Bathery. After Tipu was defeated and killed by the British, Pazhassi Raja rebelled against the British over the status of Wayanad that ultimately resulted in the killing of the Raja, whose tomb can still be seen in the district.

Wayanad finally came under the British who made it part of the Malabar district of the Madras Province. After independence, Madras province became Madras state. When the states were reorganized on linguistic lines, Wayanad became part of Kerala due to the prominence of its Malayali speaking population

Talk [ edit ]

Malayalam is the most commonly spoken language. English is understood by about half the people, but most lack conversational fluency, so you may not get a reply. According to Wikipedia, there is a Kannada-speaking population in Wayanad, but Kannada is not understood widely.

Get in [ edit ]

The district has neither an airport nor railway lines, so the only way to get in is by road. The nearest airport and railway stations are located at Kozhikode , around 100km away. Bangalore and Mysore are the other two nearby cities with airports, Of the two, Bangalore is the more realistic option as there are few flights to Mysore at the moment.

Driving in from Karnataka via Mysore or Madikeri is easier than from other districts of Kerala, Access from Kerala is difficult because of the mountain passes or 'ghat roads'.

Buses are available from Kozhikode and Mysore .

Night traffic is banned towards Mysore, Bangalore side. However, night traffic is allowed through Mananthavady .

• Buses charge only ₹.00 for three km.
• Walking is impossible as numerous noisy motorcycles pester you even in village roads.

• bus stations in Wayanad tend to disappoint you with the shortage of buses and no facility for sitting. But the KSRTC bus station at Sultan Battery has good connections to places inside Wayanad or outside Wayanad.
• Cars can be rented for as cheap as ₹1800 a day with a driver. The rate is even cheaper if you rent without a driver.

You can drink coffee at this bus station, but any snacks purchased will be immediately snatched by the ubiquitous monkey groups.

Bamboo rice payasam stalls can be spotted near Edakkal caves walkway. Bamboo is said to yield seeds after a long span, so it is said that harvesting bamboo rice is a 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience.

Home-made chocolates and local Wayanad tea and coffee are also sold in many places. Shops near Edakkal caves offer many options such as spiced versions.

Beer and wine are easily available. Stronger drinks are prohibited. Kambalakkad though does not have beer- you'd have to get it from Kalpetta or a neighboring town.

They can also arrange tours and trips.

Stay safe [ edit ]

• The eastern hills of Kerala are vulnerable to attacks from an Indian communist group called Maoists. In early 2015, they attacked the ticket counter of Silent Valley National Park, Mukkali. As the Maoists are armed and dangerous, be careful when you trek in lonely areas.
• Leeches are common in the hills. Carry some table salt to dislodge the leeches.
• Monkeys can be a nuisance, especially at places like Lakkidi viewpoint. Be careful and keep your car windows closed, and food items hidden. Try to keep a wooden stick with you in order to scare monkeys away.

Tea Tour through Priyadarshini Estates: taste of authentic Wayanad | Weekend Destination

If you are a tea loving traveler, then you will sure cherish a visit to Priyadarshini Tea Estates near Mananthavady in Wayanad.

This is first of a series of Tea Tours planned by the District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) in Mananthavady to popularize estate tourism. DTPC has teamed up with Mananthavadi Tribal Society to make Tea Tours an authentic and unique Wayanad experience for the visitors.

Tour Timing: 8:30 am to 4.30pm

Entry Fee: Rs 30 ( Stay and other facilities can be availed by paying additional fee )

Make your own tea!

Rain Carnival begins with mud-fest in Wayanad

Biking our way to Munnar's Lakshmi Estate

Visitors will be given a guided tour explaining the entire process behind tea production. Those who want to take part in the factory work could get hands-on experience of how the tea is plucked, cut, heated, rolled, dusted and packed. The factory even allows the visitors to steep a good cup of tea with the leaves or dust they helped to make.

The Priyadarshini Tea Estates makes six varieties of tea and it is offered to visitors for Rs130 per kg, half the market price.

Stay, camping & mountain biking

There are three cottages in the middle of the estate. The rent varies from Rs 1,000, for a double room, to Rs 15,000, for a whole cottage which can house 15 people.

For those staying overnight, Tea Tour has made provisions for trekking and jeep safaris to Biswas Mehta Viewpoint. The 4.5km off-road jeep safari could cost Rs1,500 for a 5-member team. It takes up to two hours to trek to the viewpoint.

The Biswas Mehta Viewpoint is a picturesque location. Incidentally, the 4-km long International Mountain Terrain Bike Track set up in 2014-15 runs along the place. The adrenaline junkies can hone their mountain biking skills and it would cost only an additional Rs 250 for the access to the hour-long course and a bicycle built to international standards.

Food specials

Of special interest are the dishes available here. The laborers in Priyadarshini Tea Estates who belong to the Pania and Adiya tribal communities cook their special meals for tourists provided bookings are made. The menu would include indigenous dishes like churula chappu mezhukkupuratti, Kattukizhangu, mulayari rice and bamboo shoots thoran. The non-vegetarian menu includes roast of a special variety of country crab caught from forest brooks. This is served with gandhakashala rice. A meal for five will cost Rs 1,500.

Camping out

There are plenty of tents pitched at a hill top inside Priyadarshini Tea Estates for the visitors. Up to 25 people can be housed under one big tent. And the charges are Rs 1,500 per person which includes dinner. The camping zone can be reached by foot or by jeep.

To avail of tent facilities, tourists need to make bookings well in advance and they must reach the place before 3 pm.

Though the camping will give the visitors a feeling of staying out in the wild, enough precautions are taken to make it safe.

This distinctive tour concept was introduced by sub collector Sambasiva Rao.

How to reach

Drive down from Wayanad to Kaniyaram Junction in Mananthavady and from there to Pancharakolli via Thilakavu. From Pancharakolli, Priyadarshini Tea Estates is 9 km away.

Tips for tourists

BSNL, IDEA and Vodafone network services are available all over the Estates.

It would be ideal to come armed with torches and power banks and of course, warm clothes, during the cold months.

Discovering Malabar

Mananthavady

Once ruled by the great King Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, the town of Mananthavady has played an integral role in the history of Kerala. It is located on the banks of Mananthavady River, a tributary of the Kabini.

The Pazhassi tomb and museum, an important memorial built in honour of one of Kerala’s valiant heroes, is located here. Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, known as the Lion of Kerala, was renowned for staying loyal to his subjects to the very end.

The tomb was constructed where the King was cremated and is situated on the banks of the River Kabani. It was converted to a museum in 1996, and now houses a collection of memorabilia belonging to Pazhassi.

The Thirunelli temple, situated 32 kms from Mananthavady, is surrounded by the Kambamala, Karimala and the Varadiga peaks. Nestled among the mountains and forests, the temple is located on the side of the Brahmagiri hills in Wayanad bordering the state of Karnataka. Built-in the traditional Kerala style of architecture, the temple is a famous pilgrim centre dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It attracts hordes of devotees especially for performing ancestral rites.

There is also a Latin church built in Victorian architectural model, situated in the heart of the town, as a reminder of the colonial past of Wayanad.

Located 20 kms east of Mananthavady is the Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary or Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. A jeep ride through the sanctuary offers glimpses of elephants, deer, gaurs, monkeys and many varieties of birds in their natural habitat. Tholpetty, situated on the border of Coorg and Wayanad, is home to many nocturnal birds as well.
