Wayanad Coffee Plantation is wildly famous for coffee and is a flourishing example of India's rich coffee heritage. These estates date back to the British colonial era, and make the landscape of endless rows of coffee plants. The story of coffee here began in the 1800s when the British first recognized the region’s perfect climate and soil conditions for coffee cultivation. Today, these plantations produce some of India's finest Arabica and Robusta coffee beans.
Beyond just coffee, these plantations speak of how the famous Veerappan once used these dense coffee estates as his hideout during the 1990s. The plantations also played a crucial role during World War II when they supplied coffee to British troops. Modern-day visitors visit Wayanad Coffee Plantation to witness how traditional farming methods work. The experience has become a must-visit spot for tourists exploring Kerala tour packages, offering a unique glimpse into the journey of coffee from seed to cup.
There is no single entry fee for all Wayanad coffee plantations; prices vary depending on the specific resort or estate you visit, and some may charge fees for tours or activities, while others are free to enter if you are a guest.
