Weekend Getaway to Wayanad

I had written a few days back about a weekend trip to Wayanad. Here are some details about the place: Some background information about Wayanad first. This is from Wikipedia:

Wayanad , in the north-east of Kerala, India, was formed on November 1, 1980 as the 12th district, carved out of Kozhikode District and Kannur District. Though the word Wayanad is believed by some to have originated from Vayal (paddy) and Naad (land), ‘Land of Paddy Fields’, some scholars disagree. The region was known as Mayakshetra (Maya’s land) in the earliest records. Mayakshetra evolved into Mayanad and finally to Wayanad. There are many indigenous tribals in this area. It is set high on the majestic Western Ghats with altitudes ranging from 700 to 2100 m.

The 275km distance from Bangalore to Sulthan Batthery, Wayanad was covered in about 7hrs by bus. We stayed at Issac’s The Resort. Some photographs from the trip are shown below. You can see all the photographs at Share-A-Pic.
