Where the resort sits
The resort is outside Kalpetta, in the wider Wayanad district. Kalpetta is the headquarters of Wayanad district and is 10.7 km from the centre of Kalpetta. Wayanad is a plateau in the north east, reached by a hairpin climb from the Malabar coast, with coffee and pepper under the trees rather than tea on open slopes.
Wayanad is older than the tourist map, with the Edakkal petroglyphs dating to the neolithic. Coffee, cardamom and pepper grow under canopy, which is why the hills stay green rather than clipped. Edakkal, Thirunelli and the Jain temple at Sultan Bathery are all inside an hour of each other. The tiger reserve borders Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, so the forest is continuous in three directions.
Who it suits and who it does not
The resort suits families and groups who want a pool, a playground and a badminton court on site, and who are happy with a two star base outside town. It does not suit anyone wanting a central Kalpetta address or a high polish property. The reason is the star rating and the distance from town.
When to plan a stay
September to May is the season for Wayanad. The ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so the drive in is less reliable during the monsoon. If the hill roads matter to your plans, aim for the drier months. The resort is 10.7 km from the centre of Kalpetta.

What is the best time to stay in Wayanad?
