Wayanad
Wayanad trades postcard hill-station polish for something wilder — dense forests, misty peaks and a real sense of untouched Western Ghats wilderness. Trekkers head for Chembra's heart-shaped lake and the ancient rock art at Edakkal, while the rest of the day slows down beside Pookode Lake or on a spice-plantation walk. Homestays and plantation resorts here lean rustic and immersive rather than luxurious, putting you right in the middle of the greenery. It suits travellers who want nature, quiet and a touch of adventure over crowds.
ClimateHill district with a cool, green, monsoon-heavy climate.
