Wayanad

The information in this post might be outdated

Bordering Karnataka, Wayanad’s verdant setting makes for an ideal weekend getaway. For a budget trip, we recommend checking-in at a comfortable homestay. While many of them offer home-cooked meals, don’t worry if the place is only offering you accommodation. After all, this is Kerala. A kallu shop {where you can get fresh toddy and beef fry among other things} is always close-by. When it comes to sightseeing, Wayanad is blessed with forests, mountains, and waterfalls where entry fees don’t apply. The only place where you will have to shell out is at the Wayanad National Park where you will have to pay INR 160 per head for a safari. Looking for where to stay? Take your pick here. We also love Wayanad Wild for luxury living, with a hint of adventure! Or for total relaxation, stay at Century Village.
