About Conference Hall
The Conference Hall at KTDC Pepper Grove
Tucked away in the lush, forested highlands of Poomala near Sultan Bathery in Wayanad, Kerala, the Conference Hall at KTDC Pepper Grove offers a refreshingly different setting for professional gatherings. Unlike the glass-and-steel environments of city conference centres, this space benefits from the natural calm of Wayanad's plantation country — an atmosphere that encourages focused thinking and productive conversation. The hall is managed by the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC), the state government's tourism arm, which brings institutional reliability and professional hospitality standards to every event.
The venue sits within the KTDC Pepper Grove property, a retreat-style hotel surrounded by pepper and spice plantations that give the property its name. Guests arriving for an event immediately experience the contrast between the verdant outdoors and a purposefully equipped indoor meeting space — a combination that makes conference bookings here particularly popular with corporate groups looking to step away from urban distractions.
Event Setup and Facilities
The Conference Hall is designed to accommodate business meetings, corporate retreats, training workshops, seminars, and team-building programmes. Its setting within a nature-immersed hotel property means that day-long conferences can be paired naturally with outdoor activities, nature walks, or group dining — making it well suited to offsite corporate programmes rather than single-session events alone.
The hall is equipped to support presentations and working sessions, and the wider KTDC Pepper Grove property provides catering support through its in-house dining facilities. Events teams at KTDC properties are experienced in coordinating multi-day corporate programmes where accommodation, meals, and conference sessions are bundled together — a practical advantage for HR, L&D, and executive leadership teams organising retreats in Wayanad.
Location and Access
Sultan Bathery is one of Wayanad district's main towns and serves as a practical base for travellers entering the district from Tamil Nadu or from the Kozhikode side of Kerala. The Poomala area, where KTDC Pepper Grove is located, places guests close to Wayanad's well-known natural and cultural attractions, including the Edakkal Caves, the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, and the broader Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve landscape.
The nearest major city is Kozhikode (Calicut), which is connected by road through the Thamarassery Ghat pass. Calicut International Airport (CCJ) serves the region, making the property accessible for outstation delegates flying into Kerala. The road journey from Kozhikode to Sultan Bathery passes through scenic ghat terrain and typically takes around two to three hours, though travel times vary by season and road conditions.
For corporate event planners seeking a venue that removes attendees from city noise, places them in a natural environment, and still delivers the professional infrastructure of a KTDC-managed facility, the Conference Hall at KTDC Pepper Grove represents a compelling option in the Wayanad highlands.
