Useful Tips

If you have an additional day, head to Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can witness rare wildlife and trek around the lush green forests. On the other hand, you can avoid Pookode Lake and, instead, visit Soochipara Falls or Banasura Sagar Dam to experience nature's abundance around Wayanad. It's advisable to pack light for your trek to the peak and carry your water bottle. Additionally, make sure you carry an insect repellent as the region is known for its insects and mosquitos. Lastly, avoid visiting during the monsoon season due to unpredictable weather conditions.
