Wayanad is one of the districts in Kerala that has been able to retain its
pristine nature. Hidden away in the hills of this land are some of the
oldest tribes, as yet untouched by civilisation. Wayanad is known for its
picturesque mist clad hill stations, sprawling spice plantations, luxuriant
forests and rich cultural traditions. The leading tourist centres of South
India like Ooty, Mysore, Coorg, Kozhikode and Kannur are around this region.
