Pulpally - town in Kerala, India

Pulpally is a small town in Wayanad district of Kerala state, India, between Sultan Battery and Mananthavady towns.

Understand

Pulpally is the most isolated town of Kerala state but it is quite prosperous with income from agriculture and expatriates working in Israel and other west Asian countries. The town is in the very middle of a thick forest with a lot of tribal population. The landscape is getting urbanized fast and the beauty of this remote place is fast disappearing with traffic blocks and mindless development.

Get in

Buses are available from Mananthavady, Sultan Battery and Kozhikode

Get around

• Autorickshaws are ubiquitous. Minibuses are cheaper and safer.
