Wayanad

About District

Wayanad cradled in the lap of the Western Ghats, truly deserves a top rank in the list of places to visit in Kerala. Situated at an astounding height of 700-2100m, this stunning hill station is all about fantasy, untouched nature, unforgettable moments, and merriment. Wayanad district is bordered by Karnataka (Kodagu and Mysore districts) to the north and north-east, Tamil Nadu (Nilgiris district) to the south-east, Malappuram to the south, Kozhikode to the south-west and Kannur to the north-west. It is the only plateau in Kerala. The Wayanad Plateau forms a continuation of the Mysore Plateau, the southern portion of Deccan Plateau. Wayanad district, along with the Chaliyar valley in neighbouring Nilambur Eastern Eranad region in Malappuram district, is known for natural gold fields, which are also seen in other parts of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve.
