Fringe Ford is a getaway, nestled amongst 520 acres of rich dense jungles of Waynad about 11kms from Maananthavaady. It shares its border with Naagarahole Sanctuary in Coorg one side and Wayanad bio-reserve on the other.

This property which was a originally a plantation of coffee and cardamom was let to go wild by its present owner and has no perimeter fences bringing the jungle literally to the doorstep. It was too much to take it all in at once and the magnificence of the place took sometime to sink in. We had to put a conscious effort to take our eyes of the scenery whilst checking out the rooms. Shaaji, was our guide and host for our stay there. We visited this place while on our ride during the winter of 2007 and spent most of our time in the wilderness around here. Lovely end to our stay
