About Wayanad
History and nature together
Edakkal Caves hold ancient carvings, and Chembra Peak, Banasura Sagar Dam and Soochipara Falls add beautiful scenery. Few places mix history and nature so closely.
A border region
Wayanad lies where Kerala meets Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and some approach roads pass through protected forest. This is why we plan your travel timing carefully.
Wayanad works as a stand-alone nature holiday or as part of a longer Western Ghats circuit with Ooty, Coorg or Mysore. Because the drive from Madurai is long, we suggest at least one night on the way or a 3 to 4 day plan.
Slow days. Memorable journeys.
