What a beautiful place to visit! Not going to lie I had to look up the location! I think the waterfalls and especially wildlife safaris is where you’d find me! Love the lush and greenery!

Thank you. Wayanad is not world-famous, so it’s expected that you might not know about it.

I wasn’t familiar with this place, glad you included a map. My husband and I love to hike so I’m intrigued with that. Thanks for opening my eyes to a new place! Saving for future reference.

The tea estates are high on my list and now I need to add spice plantations. The smaller owned plantations would be ideal to see the entire process, without crowds of people. The map really helps demonstrate how far apart everything is.

Thanks Jen. Hope you visit the tea gardens of India soon!

What an incredible itinerary. Amazing how just three short days can give you such a wonderful diverse experience.

Thanks Karen. I read and dream a lot about slow travel but unfortunately most working professionals like us don’t have the luxury of time. These short weekend trips are what keeps our wanderlust spirit alive.

Is coffee and tea from India that different from the once in europe`?

I have to admit, that I have never even heard of this place :O Shame on me, but I give a great thanks for the education 🙂

Thanks Ann. There are many treasures of India that people are unaware of. Nothing to be ashamed of. As far as I know the best quality tea and coffee produced in India are exported to the West because they are way too expensive for Indian markets.

India is really starting to grow on me, I am getting more and more intrigued. And to be honest, if I could afford one more, longer trip in 2020, it would probobly be to India 🙂

This looks like the type of place to slow travel your way through. I like the idea of using homestays to explore this part of the world, but how to you find out where they are. Is there a website that lists them all?

Hi Jay, The homestays for Wayanad can be searched on the Indian hotel booking sites like MakeMyTrip.com or even on HotelsCombined. Makemytrip has separate category for homestays.

Jumping on a bamboo raft to reach Kuruva island looks like an amazing adventure!

Thank you for sharing so much helpful information Sinjana! This looks like a beautiful area. I love the idea of a homestay on a coffee plantation. That would be so interesting to learn and connect with the farmers. The waterfall looks gorgeous. So many things to do in this area. It would be hard to narrow down choices. I can see why you’d want to stay for at least a few days.

Thanks Nancy. This is a beautiful part of India. You must visit if you are travelling to India

India is beautiful and this post gives a comprehensive guide of a place I had never ever thought of travelling to. Thanks for sharing

How did I manage a trip to Kerala but not know about Wayanad? Roaming around lakes, forests and tea plantations sounds heavenly. Would love to stay on a coffee plantation. If you can’t get a proper coffee there, where can you!

This is such a beautiful part of India and I am so glad that things are improving after the horrible floods. It certainly is God’s country with all the culture and hertiage

Wayanad looks beautiful! I hadn’t heard of it before, but now I want to pack my bags! Soochipara Falls would be a must-see for me, but the caves and lookout look stunning too.

Did not know about this place and your highlights have certainly made me think of including it in my itinerary if I should visit this part of the world. Love the lush green and the views.

The waterfall photo is lovely. Wayanad is a beautiful place that I didn’t know anything about. The raft ride looks fun, too!

Wow! Breathtaking area! Just wonderful for a weekend getaway. I love the scenery and your photos are spectacular!

I must confess to having to google Wayanad. It looks like a beautiful place to visit with spectacular scenery. Thank you for telling me about this hidden treasure.

Wow great itinerary! Very well thought out!

Wow, Wayanad sounds like such a fascinating place in India. Before reading your article I had never heard of it and now I want to visit. The caves sound particularly interesting. Thanks for all the great information.

Wayanad is truly fascinating! We visited the place a few years ago and your post evoked the nostalgia about this place. The best time to visit is always the cooler time of the year as Kerala can get quite humid in summer. 🙂

Amazing itinerary!!! It looks like you have covered almost every place. A very detailed, inspiring and informative post, all pictures are extremely beautiful.

nice, India blogs always makes me excited to explore. love from London…

If we wish to do a complete experience of Wayanad and around (don’t minnd more travel too) because we have 8 days, what do you suggest? How many days in Wayanad and how many elsewhere?

Hi Reshal, If you have 8 days you can easily spend 3 full days in Wayanad. After that you drive to Oooty, Coonoor and Kodaikanal if you are into forests and hills. Or you can head south to the beaches. Feel free to reach out to me with more questions.

This looks brilliant! I love the kind of holiday that involves interesting history (Edakkal Caves is fascinating) aaaand so much nature, viewpoints and waterfalls! I can totally see why you loved Wayanad.

Thanks a lot Josy

This is a great itinerary very informative. I hadn’t heard of Wayanad before, but it looks like a great travel destination. I’ll save this post for later when planning a trip there.

Thanks a lot Lenore

Lush green rolling hills, hidden waterfalls deep in the forests, some of the highest peaks to get a panoramic view of the wild forests around you, hikes through rainforests, go on speed boat rides on waterbodies with islands in between, enjoy fresh tea from tea on your garden tours, go on a wildlife safari to spot tigers and much more! All these are experiences that one can have in just one small gem of Kerala called Wayanad! Here’s A 2-day budget adventure trip in Wayanad. We travelled in Monsoon and it was quite picturesque and an off-season time to travel. We enjoyed waterfalls, boat rides and camping in just 2 days.

ITINERARY OVERVIEW

• Arrive early morning at Kalpetta and head to Chembra Peak
• Go to Soochipara Falls
• See Kanthanpara falls if time permits
• Go towards the base camp
• Refreshments and night trek to camping site
• Wake up and a small trek

• Travel to Banasura Sagar Dam for a speed boat ride
• Retire for the day and depart for your destination

HOW TO REACH WAYANAD

• Rented vehicle from nearby cities
• Nearest airport is Kozhikode

WHAT & WHEN TO DO IN WAYANAD

If you are leaving from Bangalore like we did you can follow this itinerary

• Catch a bus from Shantinagar to Kalpetta. KSRTC busses available for 10 PM.
• Arrive at Kalpetta Early morning
• Have Breakfast at the restaurant of your choice. We had at Affas as it opened earlier.
• Head to Chembra Peak from bus stand via local bus. Catch a bus to Meppadi .
• In our case, Chembra peak entry was prohibited so we headed to Soochipara Falls via an auto. Costed us around Rs. 200 for the auto. Negotiations possible. Buses/Sharing autos can also be taken to reach.
• A fellow traveler and friend had suggested us to go to Chulamalla , near chembra peak where we can enjoy a small waterfall and take a dip in the pond below if we ask the jeep drivers to take us there. However we were not able to go as we skipped Chembra.
• Soochipara Falls had an entry cost of Rs 50-60 per person. However worth the experience as the falls were in their full glory due to the monsoons.
• On our way out, we used a sharing auto back to reach back Meppadi.
• From Meppadi we caught a bus to Kanthanpara falls . You can catch the local bus from Meppadi to Vaduvanchal and get down in between at Thinapuram or ask locals about which point to get down for the falls.
• From the bus drop point, you will have to walk/take an auto for 3 kms to reach the falls.
• The similar entry fee of Rs 50 had to be paid once again. Usually you can take a dip and enjoy swimming under the falls, however in monsoons the force is too strong and the entry to water was prohibited.
• We once again came back to the bus drop point walking near Thinapuram and had to catch a bus to Ambalavayal .
• For which we took the bus to Vaduvanchal and changed and sat in the bus to Amabalavayal .
• We had a late lunch over there, before meeting our trek and camp guide from Space Travel (the group who organised camping and trekking for us)
• At 5PM, we met them and they arranged for the jeep to head over to our base camp . The base camp had a nice villa with amazing views of the towns below. We freshened ourselves and they served us coffee.
• At 8 PM they served us dinner and at 9 PM we started a 30 minute trek to our camping site on the hill.
• All the equipment including flash lights were provided by them.
• We were guided by Ajmal (The representative and guide from the space travel group) to the hill named Ponmudikotta. It was a public place which can be accessed by anyone, however since it was a night trek, we needed the help of a guide to travel safely and set up our tents.
• We retired in our camps for the day, it was too damp to have a campfire.

• The sunrise from the hill is a well known site so we woke up to some amazing views.
• In the morning we did a short trek nearby to a cave and to get some good sites.
• We trekked back to the base in the morning and had our refreshments and breakfast .
• Post which the jeep dropped us back to Ambalavayal .
• The edekkal caves can be visited from there as they are very near to the camp site.
• We skipped them and headed straight to Banasura Sagar dam for the day.
• Take a bus from “Kalpetta new bus stand” a bus to Padinjarathara .
• After reaching, we walked to the dam from the bus drop point as the weather was pleasant.
• The dam offers some spectacular views, however the main reason for our visit was the speed boat ride.
• The tickets for the boating are open till 3PM only so reach before that.
• The boating is stopped during rains, but continues when the rain stops.
• We had to wait almost an hour for the rain to subside so we can enjoy the boat ride.
• The speed boat ride costs Rs. 900 per ride. Max persons allowed in a ride is 5. It is worth the money
• We got stuck in the rain after the boat ride so we waited for it to subside. We caught a bus back to Kalpetta for our evening bus back to Bangalore.

All the locations visited above are pinned on this map in the order of our visit : Locations on Google Maps

We had initially planned a three day trip and wanted to explore few more spots. However with the continuous rain and our camping experience, we were quite satisfied so we headed back that same night.

Day 2 in Wayanad

Jain temple.

Although the Jain Temple is an important pilgrimage center for Jains, it is visited by people of all faiths. The temple is a fine exposition of Jain architecture. Located near to Sulthan Bathery, the place of worship is alternatively called as the Ananthanatha Swami Shrine. A salubrious spiritual spot, it is an amazing experience to visit the temple set amidst naturalistic delights.

The temple was built to commemorate the spiritual activities and achievements of Ananthanatha Swami, who was a Jain saint. It is also known as Tipu’s Fort given that Tipu Sultan used the temple to store his ammunition. During his reign the place of worship was used as a fort as well as an arsenal. It is quite a contradiction to note that now this place is a spiritual center.

Believed to be constructed in the thirteenth century, the Jain temple has an unmatched ambience. The peace and tranquillity is palpable. The excellent architecture evokes feelings of joy. The inside of the temple is even cooler, quieter, and intriguing. The inner portions of the temple are excellently architected as well.

ROAD TRIP TO WAYANAD: TRAVEL ITINERARY

I travelled: with my family with kids, type of travel: child-friendly, luxury, adventure, for:  3 nights, dates: january 2023, price point:  $$, one of the best things about living in bangalore is the possibility of so many road trips to the most amazing places. thanks to the instagram algorithm, we came across the newly opened taj in stunning wayanad. we took advantage of having family in town and pack ed up our trusted innova for a three-day trip to kerala. while we love our lux accommodations, we also love our roadside restaurants and adventures in nature, and this trip was a perfect mix of the three.

GETTING THERE

Even though wayanad is only some 300kms away from bangalore, those 300kms easily turn into eight hours on the road. we decided to drive because we had time and we wanted to have our car once in wayanad to be able to go around easily with a toddler and a car seat. we left bangalore around 7.30 in the morning on friday, timing our trip to make sure we make it to mysore in time for the opening of sapa bakery . since its opening, sapa has been reason enough to make the trek to mysore for its baked goods, sandwiches and the most amazing cakes, and travelling with a 2-year-old meant we had to stop anyhow so why not make the best of it sapa is closed on mondays and opens at noon on other days, so make sure to plan accordingly they have the most beautiful terrace but it gets very full very fast. you have to try their pasta and the best pulled-pork sandwich in india..

After lunch, we continued on our way to Kerala. The road takes you through a tiger reserve and quaint little villages, making for a nice coconut water stop before reaching your final destination.

On our way back, we had lunch at poojari fish land . as the name says, go for anything fish on the menu and you won’t regret it. we had ghee roast everything. they also have high chairs, making it one of the few highway places that are really kid and baby friendly., where to stay , there are a lot of guest houses and boutique hotels in wayanad, but we decided to stay at the newly opened taj wayanad resort and spa . the property is truly stunning- the pics don’t do it justice we booked the premium cottages because it’s always nice to have a little space to hang out after the baby goes to bed and i can safely say this was one of the most comfortable beds i have ever slept in and the shower was an experience in itself if you are traveling with a toddler, bring your own pack n play because the “crib” they had on-site when we went was a moses basket for a new-born so we ended up sleeping with tiny toddler feet stuck in our ribs for three nights. the hotel also doesn’t yet have high chairs, and probably more importantly doesn’t yet have a liquor license so byob., there are three restaurants on the premise, a massive infinity pool overlooking the waterfront and a beautiful yoga pavilion. there is also a standardly great taj spa and a well-equipped gym if that’s your jam. by the pool is a little games room and a kids centre with basic toys and book. my kid was more than happy exploring the waterfront and playing in the pool, so we didn’t really use the kids centre. the property is large and you can get around by using the golf carts..

WHAT TO DO  

Our lives still revolve around nap times, so we planned our stay accordingly, with activities in the morning and pool time and chilling in the afternoons., a really nice, kid-friendly trip is to the kallar meenmutti waterfalls . there is ample parking and locals will try and get you to park on their plot so they can sell you chai and local chocolates and pickles. don’t fight it, park and buy because it’s really delicious. after buying a ticket from the forest department, you have a 200-meter walk to the beginning of the waterfalls. once you hit the bottom you have a 30-minute trek across the rocky terrain which you navigate by holding onto a rope. it’s just challenging enough to still be fun and you will be rewarded by some really nice views. you can dip your feet into the waterfall as well. on your way back, make a slight detour and have a banana leaf meal at the 1980s nostalgic restaurant . the food is delicious and the restaurant is really cute and homely. there is no menu, the waiter will tell you what they have available. since you are in kerala, parottas are a must.

Wayanad is home to the 2 nd largest dam in Asia and the largest dam in India, the Banasurasagar Dam. The dam offers boat rides, (a very short) zipline and some great views. It also has some very random offerings like fish pedicures and house of horrors, but all in all it is worth visiting for the vibes and views if for nothing else. Try and go as early as possible as it is a very popular attraction, especially on the weekends.

After the damn, we stopped at the Lunch Box Homely Restaurant , which really is super homely and run by a mother-son duo. I will say this might not be for those whose tummies are not 100% used to India! The food was delicious, spicy, served on a banana leaf and super affordable, and what more can you ask for! We made a pit stop at the Banasura Ayurvedic and Spice Garden , which while being quite a tourist trap was also really interesting to our toddler who got to try all the plants, spices and chocolates. We bought some famous Kerala pepper and cinnamon.

We also wanted to see the famous edakkal caves, but that seemed a bit intense with a toddler, so we left that and some more demanding treks for next time. wherever you decide to stay, local staff will be more than happy to assist you with planning your trip based on your activity levels, good to know, wayanad in january was hot during the day and fresh and foggy in the mornings, so pack accordingly since there is a lot of outdoorsy stuff to do, i packed mostly leggings, sports tops and layers, good walking shoes, and a pair of my trusted birks for around the resort. there are plenty of small shops in wayanad if you run out of baby supplies like wet wipes and diapers., main photo by taj wayanad , all other photos courtesy of the author.

Itinerary for a weekend trip from Bangalore to Wayanad

The distance from Bangalore to Wayanad is 270 Kms approximately. The best time to travel from Bangalore to Wayanad is in the month of July/August when the monsoon subsides, giving it a lush green panorama. I still remember the first time I travelled from Bangalore to Wayanad, I fell in love with the beautiful tea plantation and trek to Chembra peak also called as the heart-shaped lake. There are many trekking opportunities and places to visit in Wayanad if you are game for a little adventure.

Let me now jump straight to how my itinerary from Bangalore to Wayanad looks like:

Day 1: Start early from Bangalore to Wayanad, say at around 5 AM to avoid peak hour traffic. Bangalore to Wayanad distance is 277 km via Mysore road. You could stop at Lokaruchi Kamat for a grand breakfast in a cozy set-up.

Must read: Family resorts in Sakleshpur , candle light dinner in bangalore , sula vineyards bangalore

Once you reach Wayanad, take your time to settle in the resort of your choice (I had the opportunity to stay at http://www.vythiriresort.com/, which is a bit expensive but promises a glimpse of heaven). I always prefer to enjoy day-1 in the resort itself to do justice to the money I pay for accommodation, unless you are an avid user of bed & breakfast type places. The second time, however, I planned my stay at http://edakkal.com/, to ensure that I could make use of my Day 1 by walking up to the Edakkal caves close-by (for more details about them, visit http://www.keralatourism.org/wayanad/edakkal-caves-ambukuthi-hills.php).

Chembra Peak

Day 2: Get out of bed early to trek to Chembra peak which usually takes 2-3 hrs time (especially if you halt frequently to admire the lush green beauty around). Ensure you are back from the peak by 11 am to avoid the heat. Pick a nice restaurant for lunch and enjoy your hearty meal (I usually google best places to eat in 'XYZ' and take a decision based on my gut feeling).

Soochipara Waterfalls

Post lunch, you could head towards Soochippara Falls or Karapuzha dam depending on how much time you have by your side.

And now it is time to head home, as it was only a quick trip. You might want to come back again on another weekend to explore further.

Disclaimer: Information given here (like name of resorts and attractions) by no means be considered as commercial promotion of any sort, rather is solely a suggestion based on personal choice/opinion. Stop for breakfast.
