Bangalore to Wayanad Tour Package Itinerary
Day 1: Bangalore Pickup and Journey to Wayanad
-
Lakkidi Viewpoint is often referred to as the gateway to Wayanad and offers one of the most spectacular bird’s-eye views of the winding Thamarassery Ghat pass. Situated at an elevation of 700 meters, this spot allows travelers to witness the majestic nine hairpin curves and the lush green valleys stretching toward the horizon. The cool breeze and the occasional mist making its way through the mountains provide a perfect welcome to the hill station’s serene environment.
-
Chain Tree is a large Ficus tree located along the national highway that holds a mysterious steel chain and a fascinating local legend involving a tribal youth named Karinthandan. According to local folklore, the spirit of the youth was chained to this tree by a priest to prevent accidents on the steep ghat roads, making it a site of both historical and spiritual curiosity. It serves as a quick but significant stop for visitors to pay respects to the history of the land and its indigenous protectors.
Day 2: Exploration of Banasura and Nature
-
Banasura Sagar Dam holds the distinction of being the largest earthen dam in India and the second largest in all of Asia, built at the foot of the Banasura Hills. The reservoir features several small islands formed when the reservoir submerged the surrounding areas, creating a picturesque landscape that is often compared to the islands of Vietnam. Visitors can enjoy a thrilling speed boat ride across the expansive blue waters or take a peaceful stroll along the dam’s walkway to admire the surrounding peaks.
-
Karlad Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in Wayanad and is a hub for adventure seekers looking for activities like ziplining, kayaking, and rock climbing. Surrounded by dense bamboo forests and spice plantations, the lake provides a quieter alternative to the more crowded tourist spots, allowing for a more intimate connection with nature. It is an ideal location for families to spend an afternoon enjoying the pedal boats and the cool mountain air.
Wayanad Sightseeing Itinerary
Day 3: Caves, Heritage, and Wildlife
-
Edakkal Caves are world-renowned for their Neolithic petroglyphs, which are ancient rock carvings dating back to over 6,000 BCE, indicating the presence of a prehistoric civilization. Reaching the caves requires a moderate uphill trek through coffee plantations and rocky terrain, but the reward is a breathtaking look at human history etched into stone. The view from the top of the Ambukuthi Hills is equally stunning, offering a panoramic sweep of the Wayanad plateau and the borders of neighboring states.
-
Wayanad Heritage Museum located in Ambalavayal houses an impressive collection of artifacts, including ancient weapons, clay sculptures, and stone carvings that date back to the 2nd century AD. The museum provides a deep insight into the tribal history and the cultural evolution of the Malabar region through its well-curated galleries named Devasmruthi and Veerasmruthi. It is an essential stop for history buffs to understand the diverse ethnic roots and the heroic past of the local communities.
-
Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary is a major part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and offers a chance to see wild elephants, gaurs, tigers, and spotted deer in their natural habitat. A jeep safari through the dense deciduous forests is the highlight here, especially during the early morning or late afternoon when animal activity is at its peak. The sanctuary’s rich biodiversity and its role in elephant conservation make it a top priority for wildlife enthusiasts visiting the region.
Wayanad Return Route Sightseeing Itinerary
Day 4: Waterfalls and Serene Lakes
-
Soochipara Waterfalls also known as Sentinel Rock Waterfalls, is a spectacular three-tiered cascade that drops from a height of about 200 meters amidst evergreen forests. A short trek through the tea estates leads you to the base of the falls, where the rushing water creates a natural pool perfect for a refreshing dip or photography. The sound of the falling water combined with the lush greenery creates a therapeutic atmosphere that defines the “Green Paradise” of Wayanad.
-
Pookode Lake is a natural freshwater lake shaped like a map of India, nestled between evergreen forests and the slopes of the Western Ghats. The lake is famous for its blue lotuses and the variety of freshwater fish that can be seen from the banks or during a relaxing pedal boat ride. A paved path surrounds the lake, allowing for a scenic walk where visitors can spot wild birds and monkeys playing in the canopy above.
Day 5: Final Nature Trail and Bangalore Drop
-
Kuruva Island is a sprawling 950-acre protected river delta on the Kabini River, consisting of several small islands connected by bamboo bridges and walkways. This uninhabited island is rich in rare species of orchids, birds, and herbs, offering a raw and untouched jungle experience for travelers. Exploring the dense thickets and the riverside trails provides a final sense of adventure before heading back toward the city life of Bangalore.
-
Bangalore Drop concludes your 5-day Wayanad journey as you drive back through the scenic Bandipur forest range and the plains of Karnataka. Your driver will ensure a timely arrival at the airport or railway station for your onward journey, carrying memories of misty mountains and tribal legends. The return trip allows for a final glimpse of the Western Ghats as you transition from the quiet hills back to the vibrant energy of the city.
