Building your Kerala Wayanad itinerary…
A CCJ flight into treehouse country, nine hairpins of ghat road with a motion-sickness heads-up, and a bamboo-raft island day weighed honestly against Kuruva Dweep's monsoon shutdown.
Arrive at CCJ, Kozhikode's airport. Begin the 85km transfer into Wayanad, ascending the scenic Thamarassery ghat. This winding route features nine hairpin bends, offering views as you climb into the hills. Settle into your chosen homestay in Wayanad.
Continue your journey through the Thamarassery ghat, experiencing its unique landscape. The drive itself is a significant part of the afternoon, allowing families to witness the changing scenery as you reach higher altitudes in Wayanad.
After reaching your accommodation, unwind and settle in. Enjoy a relaxed evening with dinner at a local establishment like 1980's A Nostalgic Restaurant in Kalpetta, known for its South Indian cuisine. Prepare for the adventures ahead.
Start the day at Banasura Sagar Dam, India's largest earthen dam. Enjoy the scenic lake area, offering walking trails and speed boat rides. Families can opt for paddle-boating on the reservoir, a popular activity that often delights children.
Return to your resort by early afternoon. This is dedicated family time for relaxation and enjoyment. Head to the pool for a refreshing swim, allowing everyone to unwind and cool off after the morning's activities.
Spend a relaxed evening at your resort. You might enjoy a Resort-grounds rainforest nature walk, rated 4.7 from 552 reviews, offering a gentle exploration of the local flora. Conclude the day with dinner at the resort or a nearby local restaurant.
Head to Kuruva Dweep river islands, a nature preserve with seasonal access. Enjoy walks, hikes, and a unique bamboo raft crossing across shallow channels. Arriving by mid-morning is important, as entry to the islands is capped daily.
After your Kuruva Dweep visit, return to your accommodation. The afternoon is left open for relaxation, perhaps enjoying the resort facilities or simply resting after the morning's activities. This allows for flexible family time.
Conclude your day with a relaxed family dinner. Consider dining at your resort or exploring local options. Reflect on the day's adventure at Kuruva Dweep and prepare for tomorrow's journey back down the ghat.
Check out from your Wayanad accommodation. Begin the 85 km drive to Kozhikode, which takes approximately 2.9 hours. This journey involves descending the Thamarassery ghat's nine hairpin bends in reverse, a scenic route offering different perspectives.
Arrive in Kozhikode by afternoon and check into your hotel. Your accommodation is conveniently located close to the airport for tomorrow's departure. Take some time to settle in and refresh after the morning's drive.
Enjoy a relaxed evening at the Kozhikode beach promenade, which is open 24 hours. Stroll along the shore and experience the local atmosphere. Conclude the day with dinner at a highly-rated local restaurant like Paragon Restaurant.
Enjoy a leisurely last breakfast at your hotel. Afterwards, proceed with your transfer to CCJ, Kozhikode's airport. The drive typically takes 30 to 40 minutes, allowing for a relaxed departure from the city.
