WayanadTravel Guide

Ancient rock shelters with petroglyphs dating back over 6,000 years, reached via a steep rocky climb up Ambukutty Mala — among the oldest evidence of human habitation in South India.

Wayanad's highest peak, famous for the heart-shaped Hridaya Lake near its summit — a moderately challenging trek through grasslands and shola forest (permits required).

India's largest earthen dam, set against a backdrop of mist-covered hills, with boat rides and short treks to viewpoints overlooking the reservoir.

A three-tiered waterfall surrounded by tea estates and forest, reachable via a short trek, with a natural pool at the base popular for swimming.

A jeep safari through dense forest contiguous with Bandipur and Nagarhole, home to elephants, gaur, deer, and occasional tiger sightings.

A natural freshwater lake nestled amid forested hills, with boating, a butterfly safari park, and a small aquarium — a relaxed family stop.

An ancient Vishnu temple set against the Brahmagiri hills, often called the 'Kashi of the South', surrounded by forest streams considered sacred for ancestral rites.

An uninhabited river island in the Kabini, reached by bamboo raft, with dense evergreen forest, rare orchids, and birdlife — a peaceful escape into nature.

Wayanad's largest waterfall, dropping in three stages through dense forest — a scenic but steep 2km trek from the main road.

Guided walks through working plantations growing coffee, pepper, cardamom, and vanilla, with explanations of processing methods and tastings.
