Wayanad trip from Bangalore

About Wayanad

Wayanad rewards a slow trip: short drives between viewpoints, plantation stays and a few easy walks. Most visitors reach it through Mysuru, which also makes a convenient break in the drive.

During the monsoon, some trails and viewpoints can be restricted for safety, so we confirm what is open before dates are fixed.

Things to do in Wayanad

• Edakkal Caves and their ancient carvings
• Banasura Sagar Dam and its islands
• Soochipara Falls
• Chembra Peak trek (seasonal)
• Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary and plantation stays

Who Wayanad suits

Families, couples and small groups who like nature, light trekking and quiet stays.

Getting to Wayanad from Bengaluru

Wayanad has no airport or main railway station. The nearest are at Kozhikode, roughly 90 to 100 km away, and most travellers from Bengaluru drive via Mysuru and Sultan Bathery. Hill roads slow the journey, so allow for stops.

A sample plan for Wayanad

Day one: arrive via Mysuru and visit the Edakkal Caves. Day two: Banasura Sagar Dam in the morning and Soochipara Falls after lunch. Day three: a short wildlife or plantation visit before the drive back.

Planning tips for Wayanad

• Choose one base for two nights, because the roads are winding.
• Check closure notices for treks and viewpoints in the monsoon.
