Upon arrival, check into the Curve Eco Boutique Hotel, a luxurious 5-star hotel located in the serene heart of Wayanad. You can unwind in your room or try the hotel's infinity pool, which overlooks the lush green landscapes of the region. Take a relaxing walk in the hotel's private coffee and tea plantation. In the evening, dive into the local culture with an authentic Kerala Sadya, a traditional feast served on a banana leaf, at the hotel's award-winning restaurant.
Start the day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel, and gear up for an exciting day of exploring Wayanad. Visit Edakkal Caves, which are known for their unique petroglyphs and natural beauty. The trek to the caves offers breathtaking views of Wayanad's surreal beauty. Next, head towards the Chembra Peak, Wayanad's highest peak, and embark on an adventurous trek uphill, accompanied by a qualified trek guide. Enjoy the serene beauty of the heart-shaped Chembra Lake, tucked away on the peak. Head back to the hotel and spend the afternoon relaxing at the spa or the poolside. In the evening, enjoy Wayanad's serenity with a sunset stroll around the Banasura Sagar Dam, India's largest earthen dam built across the Karamanathodu river.
If you have a little more time, add a day for Kuruva Island, a natural haven for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts with its serene islands and waterways. If you have less time, skip Banasura Sagar Dam. A trekking permit is mandatory for Chembra Peak, and suitable trekking gear, comfortable shoes, and a carry bag with snacks and water are recommended.
