Mananthavady is a Municipality, Taluk and town in the Wayanad district of Kerala, India. The municipal boundaries are defined by Tirunelli Panchayat to the north, Kabini River to the east and south, and Thavinhal Panchayat to the west. Mananthavady is the largest muncipality in Wayanad District.It is situated 35km northeast of the district headquarters, Kalpetta, 80km east of Thalassery, and 110km northeast of Kozhikode.
==Etymology== The popular view on the etymology is that the word is derived from "Maane Eytha Vady" (English: "The place where an arrow was shot at the deer"). This view is strengthened by the existence of a place called Ambukuthy, literally "the location where the arrow pierced", on the outskirts of the town.
