Chain Tree

Chain tree is a fascinating tourist spot.It is a large Ficus tree bound by a prominent chain. It is believed that there is a dramatic local myth behind this heritage. According to the myth, an adivasi youth ,Karinthandan, guided a British Engineer to the perilous mountain region to Wayanad. But the Engineer murdered Karinthandan inorder to get credit of the discovery. After his death his soul haunted the subsequent visitors to Wayanad. It seems that a priest chained the bothersome spirit into this tree.
