Itinerary
Arrival, Transfer & Orientation
Arrive at Kozhikode (Calicut) Airport / Railway Station and meet your driver. Transfer to Wayanad (approx. 2.5–3 hours). Check in at your resort or homestay in Wayanad. Afternoon at leisure to relax and acclimatize. Evening short nature walk around the property and a welcome briefing with your guide. If arrival is late, the detailed activities will be adjusted to prioritize trekking and safari slots.

Later visit Ambukuthi Hill viewpoint and a nearby tribal museum or craft center. Return to your accommodation with time to relax or visit a local spice garden in the late afternoon.
Important: The Edakkal hike includes uneven steps and some rock scrambling — wear sturdy shoes and carry water.
Chembra Peak Trek & Heart-shaped Lake
Early breakfast and depart for the iconic Chembra Peak trek (permit and guide included). This is a full-morning moderate-to-strenuous trek culminating at the scenic vantage over the Heart-shaped Lake. Enjoy panoramic hill views and a packed lunch or return for lunch at the resort. Afternoon visit Soochipara (Sentinel) Falls for a refreshing dip and photo stop.
Note: Chembra trekking requires reasonable fitness. Weather can change quickly — follow the guide's advice.
Banasura Sagar Dam, Kayaking & Spice Plantation
After breakfast, drive to Banasura Sagar Dam, South Asia's largest earth dam. Enjoy a guided boat ride and optional kayaking on the reservoir (seasonal). Afternoon visit a traditional spice plantation — learn about cardamom, pepper and vanilla, with a tasting and short walking tour. Evening at leisure; consider a cultural village dinner or bonfire (seasonal).
Tip: Kayaking is subject to weather and water levels; book in advance if required.
Wildlife Jeep Safari & Kuruva Island Exploration
Pre-dawn departure for a jeep safari into Tholpetty or Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary (depending on permits and seasonal wildlife movement).

Important: Wildlife sightings are subject to chance and seasonal patterns. Carry binoculars and avoid loud noises during the safari.
