A small green paradise nestled in the mountains in the Western Ghats, the Wayanad district is especially known for the fertility of its soils and the beauty of its tea plantation landscapes.
Wayanad district: What to see in the surroundings?
The main reason to come to Wayanad, up in the Kerala hills, is to visitWayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, where the chances of spotting wild elephants are actually quite slim.
My suggestion
Wayanad is a very popular destination with Indian tourists. This results in long queues at weekends, so you'll need to arm yourself with patience. Allow plenty of time to get here or you may end up arriving just as the reserve is closing!

My suggestion
As it's difficult to access by public transport, the simplest way to get to Wayanad is by a private vehicle, preferably during the dry season when insects give visitors a bit of a break.
