Karapuzha village resorts
Main towns : Kalpetta ,Sulthanbathery
Kalpetta
Tea estate
This is the main town with lots of resorts and
restaurants in Wayanad. You will find me covering a lot more of the places
under this town as this is the focal point for Wayanad. From waterfalls to
lakes and dams, access from Kalpetta town is a lot
better.
Banasura Sagar Dam
Meenmutty Water Falls
Chembra peak
Sulthan Bathery
Interesting
and fascinating attraction of Wayanad are the Edekkal Caves. And if this
fascinates you, remember to head to the Muniyara- a series of
ancient burial vaults that have been discovered at the foot of a hill, around
12 kms from Sulthan Bathery. These are from the Megalithic age
and are quite fascinating structures - almost like a child's drawing with four
slabs of stones placed vertically and one capstone on the top.
12 kms
from the main town of Sulthan Bathery is the Muthanga
Wildlife National Park, home to some amazing wildlife - free roaming
Elephants, deers, bears and tigers. This park is also, called the Wayanad
Wildlife Sanctuary. If you are lucky, as I was, you might spot an elephant
or two on the road
The sanctuary is open on most days and you can take
a small ride within the same. The Forest officials also, organize Elephant
rides - if you are really keen for one.

Travel
Tips
- Wayanad is best enjoyed after
monsoons. The peak season here is from October to February.
- Pre-plan your trips well
in advance as the distances are quite huge and you may just end up
spending a lot of time on the road.
- For the Chembra trek, take
a guide along with you from the Forest office. The trek is through the
jungle and hence, remember to dress comfortably. Carry a jacket as the
area is prone to rains. Trek price for the Chembra Peak is INR 500 for
Indians and INR 1000 for the Foreigners
- Most of the homestays,
resorts and hotels are well connected with cab companies and hence, can
arrange a transport for you. Some of them have a complimentary tour to the
nearest attractions as a part of the package. Remember to inquire about
them when planning a stay.
- When heading for the tourist
attractions, it is advisable to start early and plan an entire day's
excursion from your hotel. Remember to consider this when option for a MAP
or an AP package at your resort or hotel.
- Carry a binocular here as
Wayanad has some amazing birds - no matter where you stay. We had an
amazing time spotting beautiful colored birds every morning in all the
places that we stayed.
