2/22

Experience a deafening silence. A silence so soothing that you will forget your past

and future, and begin to live in the present tense. Wayanad, the evergreen,

charming hill district of Kerala, is home to many curious attractions and green

wonders. 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 civilization. Wayanad will enchant you with its pretty mist

clothed hill stations, extensive spice plantations, lush forests and affluent cultural

traditions. And, the leading tourist centers of South India like Ooty, Mysore,

Coorg, Kozhikode and Kannur are around this region. Comprising an area of 2,132

sq. kilometers, Wayanad invites you, to an unpolluted abode.

Come, see, and surrender to this wonder

The most important thing that will stir your curiosity about the bygone era of

Wayanad may be the opinion of historians that organized human life existed in

certain parts of this land, at least ten centuries before Christ. Relics and edicts

found in various parts of Wayanad speak volumes of a rich pre-historic era.

Wayanad was ruled by the Rajas of the Veda tribe. After Tippu handed over the

entire Malabar region to the British after the Sreerangapattanam truce, Wayanad

saw historic encounters between the British and Kerala Varma Pazhassi Rajah of

Kottayam. Pazhassi Rajah waged a fierce war on the British with the help of

Kurichiya tribals from the wilderness of Wayanad. In the end, on the brink of

becoming a prisoner of his enemies, he committed suicide, and became a tragic

hero in the history of Wayanad.

(There are different versions about his death) The British authorities opened up

the plateau for cultivation of tea and other cash crops. Roads were laid across the

dangerous slopes of Wayanad, from Kozhikode and Thalassery. These roads were

extended to the cities of Mysore and Ooty through Gudalur. Later, through these

roads, people from various parts of Kerala migrated to this land, in search of

making a livelihood in this pristine land.
