    About Wayanad District

    Wayanad is Kerala's green paradise — a highland district in the Western Ghats where mist-covered mountains, ancient caves, and dense wildlife reserves create an otherworldly atmosphere. The Edakkal Caves, with their prehistoric petroglyphs dating back 6,000 years, are a window into Neolithic civilization. Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, one of the world's richest biodiversity hotspots. Soochipara and Meenmutty waterfalls are among Kerala's most spectacular. The Kuruva Island, a cluster of uninhabited islands in the Kabini River, offers unique eco-tourism.
