Wayanad Essentials

Wayanad spans the high-altitude plateaus of the Western Ghats, characterized by diverse ecosystems and ancient history. This collection features the Neolithic petroglyphs of Edakkal Caves and the 3,000-year-old Thirunelli Temple. Natural landmarks include the Banasura Sagar Dam, India's largest earth dam, and the multi-tiered Soochipara and Meenmutty waterfalls. The region's biodiversity is represented by the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary and the freshwater Pookode Lake, while Lakkidi offers views of the historic Thamarassery mountain pass.
