Chain Tree Wayanad

Among the numerous fresh, green and earthly tourist attractions in Wayanad is this unearthly destination known as Chain Tree. Even if it’s anything but remarkable, it’s a major tourist attraction in Wayanad. The tree has several mythological stories and beliefs attached to it. Chain Tree is an old fig tree with a chain around it. The chain is rather heavy, hanging from a stout branch and anchored to the ground. The tree is also a place of worship. You’ll find a small temple, locally known as Karinthandan Temple, built in honour of the martyr/ghost around whom the myths revolve. Truck drivers stop by on their way to pray for a safe journey on this hilly terrain. Chain Tree Wayanad is about 30 kilometers from Wayanad town on the way to Lakkidi. It’s a quick stop for many travellers. And it should be for you, too, if you like to brush up on myths.
