Wayanad – The perfect summer escape

Wayanad, situated in the northern part of the picturesque state of Kerala, is a stunning amalgamation of lush greenery, pristine waterfalls, and unique wildlife. Nestled amidst the majestic Western Ghats, Wayanad boasts a captivating landscape with mist-laden hills, dense forests, and deep valleys. It’s a nature seeker’s paradise, offering resplendent lakes, aromatic spice plantations, and scenic treks. If you prefer places that are not too crowded, consider exploring plantation trails, river-walks, and treks, which are higher on the list of preferences for many travelers.

Wayanad is not just a hill station like Ooty or Munnar; it’s a large district in Kerala. To fully explore all the top destinations, you’d need more than 2-3 days. Most of these places are far apart from each other, so a Wayanad itinerary of 4days or more would be ideal. Here are some of the key points to consider:

1. Historical Significance: Archeologists have found traces of human civilization in Wayanad that date back over 6000 years. The Edakkal Caves provide glowing evidence of this ancient history. However, documented history before the 18^th century is scarce. Wayanad also has the largest tribal community in Kerala, and you can learn about their life and culture at the Wayanad Heritage Museum.

2. Wildlife and Forests: Wayanad is surrounded by the Bandipur, Nagarhole, and Mudumalai forests, which together with the eastern forests of Wayanad, have the largest tiger population in the world. If you love jungle safaris, consider staying near the Muthanga Hills in the eastern part of the district.

3. Sultan Bathery: This region in the interiors of Wayanad is famous for the Edakkal Caves and other heritage sites. Most people, however, choose to stay in Vythri and Kalpetta for a serene and typical “Wayanad” experience.

Wayanad offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty and cultural richness, providing an unforgettable journey into the heart of Kerala’s lush embrace.
