Wayanad district is the 12th District in the state of Kerala in India.[1] Mananthavady, Sulthanbathery, and Vythiri Taluks are all in Wayanad.[1] The name Wayanad comes from Vayal Nadu and it means the land of paddy fields. It is a high, flat land between 700 meters and 2100 meters above sea level. It is in northeaster Kerala, in the Western Ghat mountains. Wayandad is one of the biggest foreign exchange earners in Kerala because it makes money-earning crops like pepper, cardamom, coffee, tea, and other spices.[1]
