About Kalpetta

Kalpetta is Wayanad's main town, set among Kerala's northern hills of coffee and spice estates and dense forest. Visitors use it as a base to reach nearby waterfalls, viewpoints, wildlife sanctuaries, and the Edakkal caves, though sanctuary visits often require checking permits and timings in advance. The roads through this region are winding, and night driving on the ghat sections can be tiring.
