With virgin rain forests, verdant spice plantations, rolling paddy fields, hills, rocks and valleys, 'the Land of Paddy Fields', Wayanad, is indeed an excellent place in Kerala. Earlier, Wayanad was called Mayakshetra (Maya Land). Wayanad is on the Western Ghats and is much famous for its natural beauty and also the aborigine people. In fact, it has the largest concentration of the aborigine people in Kerala.

A part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and much famous for its wonderful wildlife tours, Wayanad is also called 'the Land of Spices'. Black Pepper, Ginger and Turmeric grow in abundance here and are famous for their unique flavor and aroma. Actually, Black Pepper of Wayand is much renowned all over the world.
