Start your day at Banasurasagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India, located in the midst of lush greenery. Take a short speed boat ride to the island in the middle of the dam and enjoy the stunning scenic views. You can indulge in various water activities such as kayaking, paddle boating and rafting. Spend a few hours here before heading out for lunch.
After a morning of adventure, head to The Hill District Club for a relaxed afternoon. This exclusive club offers various indoor and outdoor activities such as swimming, billiards, tennis and more. The club also has a multi-cuisine restaurant and a well-stocked bar. Spend your evening here playing games and enjoying drinks.
Rise early and head to Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek to the top of the hill takes around 3 hours but the effort is worth it for the stunning views of the heart-shaped lake and surrounding areas from the top. Make sure you carry enough water, snacks, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes as this is a long and steep trek through the forest.
After a morning of trekking, head to the nearby Bamboo Forest which provides a serene setting and cool atmosphere. You can relax on a hammock, have a picnic or even take part in some archery. The forest also houses a few small eateries serving local delicacies such as Bamboo Biriyani.
If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary or explore the ancient Edakkal Caves.
For a shorter trip, consider skipping the Bamboo Forest.
