An old town located between the popular touristy locations of Kalpetta and Sulthan Bathery, Meenangadi is loaded with history and culture. It is known to be one of the provinces that still have historical evidence like Dolmens, indicating the existence of an earlier civilization. It is well connected by road, making it easy to commute to all places of interest in Wayanad. It is also well on its way to being the first place in India to be declared as a ‘carbon-neutral’ panchayat.
Wayanad is the king of tourist destinations in Kerala, with its plethora of mountains, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, wildlife and magnificent temples rich in history and culture. Teeming with wildlife and lush vegetation, the sublime and pristine environment of Wayanad is just the antidote for a stressed body and mind. The natural beauty, adventure trails and it’s rich history and culture transports you to a whole new world.
Of course. One would definitely have the Bandipur National Park, the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, there magnificent Thirunelli temple, trekking trails to Soochipara Waterfalls, Chembra Peak, etc on their to-do list on a trip to Wayanad. But staying at Meenangadi makes it so much more easier to visit sites like that of Karapuzha Dam, Ambukuthi Mala, Kolagappara, etc. The historically important site of Edakkal caves is also just a stone’s throw away from Meenangadi.
