Wayanad
Different Strokes
TOUR OVERVIEW
The common mistake that tourists make is to think of Wayanad as a single destination – a town. It is rather a district in the North -Eastern part of Kerala, with three principal towns – Kalpetta, Sultan Bathery and Manathavadi. Surrounded by dense forest, coffee/tea plantations and mountains, it is a nature lover’s paradise. ‘Maya Kshetra’ -> ‘Mayanad’ -> ‘Wayanad’. Interesting, isn’t it? Wayanad also holds great interest anthropologically with its rich tribal culture as well as pre-historic natural caves. Explore this amazing potpourri with us, this long weekend.
Price :
Adults (10 years and above) – INR 11,000 + 5% GST
Child (less than 10 years) – INR 5000 + 5% GST

Note > Prepare > Accept > Embrace
- Wayanad is a district and not a town. We will not be able to cover everything the district has to offer; nor do we intend to. This trip is to appreciate the unique offerings of this beautiful district and hence we have curated options that bring in a mix – tribal, anthropological, water bodies, forest, plantation.
- This is a monsoon centric trip. While the whole of Western Ghats will be green and in full glory, some treks and paths may be closed. The trip will have a slow pace.
