Why this place stands out
En Ooru is a tribal heritage village at Pookode, Vythiri in Wayanad, showcasing traditional dwellings, food, handicrafts, cultural programmes and community-based livelihood initiatives.
En Ooru Tribal Heritage Village is a major cultural tourism attraction at Pookode in Vythiri, Wayanad district, Keralam. Spread across a hillock, the project was created to present tribal heritage while supporting livelihood opportunities for tribal communities. The campus features clusters of traditional-style huts, cafeterias serving ethnic dishes, a tribal market and stalls for handicrafts, spices and locally made products.
Keralam Tourism also describes facilities such as a handicraft collection warehouse, a felicitation centre and an open-air theatre used for cultural programmes. Tribal art presentations, food events and other activities help visitors encounter Wayanad's living indigenous traditions rather than viewing the site only as a static display. En Ooru is a joint initiative of Keralam's Tourism and Scheduled Tribe Development departments, with an emphasis on preserving traditional knowledge and expanding community livelihoods.
Its location near Pookode makes it convenient to combine with other attractions around Vythiri and Lakkidi.
