There’s something for everyone in Wayanad — whether you are a nature buff, a fitness enthusiast, a foodie or even someone who loves getting lost in the pages of history. Here are 5 unique experiences you can have while staying in this little slice of heaven

1. Gaze at nature’s wonders from Chembra Peak – You don’t have to be a seasoned trekker to reach Wayanad’s tallest peak. At 2,100 metres above sea level, Chembra Peak offers a bird’s eye view of not just the entire district, but also of the Nilgiri Hills in Tamil Nadu and Vellarimala Hills in Kozhikode, Kerala.

2. Take a walk through the past at Edakkal Caves – Stone-age carvings at Edakkal Caves make for a unique historical experience. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to some fascinating carvings – some as old as 7,000 years!

3. A plantation tour may just be your cup of tea – Wayanad is famous for its tea, producing some of the best blends in the country. A tea estate tour that ends in you sipping on endless cups of your favourite beverage sounds like an ideal morning!

4. Float along India’s largest earthen dam – Located in the foggy foothills of Banasura hills, the Banasura Sagar Dam is considered the second largest in Asia. Hike, go on a leisurely boat ride or open up a picnic basket while taking in the beauty around you.

5. Bring out the shutterbug in you – Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, an integral part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, connects Nagarhole and Bandipur parks in Karnataka, and Mudumalai in Tamil Nadu. Keep your cameras ready and fingers crossed – you may just spot tigers, panthers, bison, and undoubtedly, some elephants.
