Mananthavady, nestled on the banks of the Mananthavady River (locally called ‘Pusha’), is a charming town in Wayanad, Kerala. 🌿🏞️ As the second largest town in the district, it’s surrounded by the lush green hills of the Western Ghats and has a rich history, from kings and queens to colonial India.

With temples, parks, tombs, and a bird sanctuary, plus a group of nearby islets, Mananthavady is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of life. 🌸🕊️ Established in the 19th century, its name comes from the Malayalam term ‘mane eytha vadi,’ meaning ‘where an arrow was shot at the deer.’ 🦌🏹
