Helpline: 04936-346962 09847509565 - 24 hours Places To See With its idyllic location in the Nilgiri Biosphere, Wayanad district in Kerala is a land of mysterious mountain caves, thundering waterfalls, large tracts of forest land, ancient ruins, tree houses, jungle trails, exotic wild life and a number of aboriginal tribes. The district's hilly terrain with numerous outback trails and trekking routes makes it an ideal destination for adventure seekers. With 26% forest cover, much of the district still remains unexplored, and constitutes the last surviving tracts of a unique ecosystem. Wayanad has two major wildlife reserves - Muthanga and Tholpetty - that are home to an incredible range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species. The district also has its share of historical and religious monuments. But it's for its natural beauty that Wayanad is best known. Check the links below for a glimpse of some of the places worth a visit. We have indicated the approximate distance from the Resort to each of these places. To visit them all would take more than a week. For your convenience we have classified them into three categories. Contact Reception to chart out an itinerary that best serves your interests.

Hi sushma, I had already made a thread for wayanad a year or so back..its a wonderful must visit place.. we too went exactly in the month of august and it was awesome!!!!!! we actually dint stay in wayad but did in sultanbattery which is like a closerby place...even if you dont get a room in wayanad..you can select the nearby places as all are easily accessible.. we dint get a hi-fi room ..just took a normal hotel room and it was very much fine for us..the room rent too was cheap... you can travel by bus to most of the places... Enjoy!!!!!
