Overview
Itinerary
Arrival, Transfer to Wayanad & Relaxed Lakeside Evening
Arrive at Kozhikode (Calicut) Airport / Railway Station and drive to Wayanad (approx. 2–3 hours). Check in to your Wayanad accommodation and unwind. In the late afternoon visit Pookode Lake for a gentle boat ride and family photos. Finish the day with a sunset view at Lakkidi Viewpoint.
Tip: Keep light rainwear handy during monsoon months. Evening strolls are kid-friendly and a great way to acclimatize.
Edakkal Caves & Heritage Walk
After breakfast, head to the iconic Edakkal Caves—famous for prehistoric petroglyphs. A moderate uphill walk (approx. 20–30 minutes) leads to the cave complex. Post-lunch explore the Wayanad Heritage Museum and nearby viewpoints. Evening free for a local market visit or optional cultural program.
Important: Edakkal involves uneven steps — suitable footwear recommended. Children should be supervised inside the caves.
Wildlife Safari & Banasura Sagar Dam
Early morning safari at Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary (or Muthanga depending on permits) to spot elephants, deer, birds and possibly gaur. Return for a late breakfast and relax. In the afternoon visit Banasura Sagar Dam — enjoy a serene boat ride and panoramic views of the surrounding hills.
Note: Safari timings and availability are subject to park rules; permits included. Carry binoculars and a camera with zoom.
Chembra Peak Trek or Family Nature Alternatives
Day reserved for the Chembra Peak trek to the famous heart-shaped lake (popular but moderately strenuous). For families or those preferring less exertion, choose a shorter nature walk or visit Meenmutty Falls (short trek) and scenic viewpoints.
Safety Note: Chembra trek requires moderate fitness and prior permit; children under recommended age should avoid the full ascent. Pack water, snacks, sun protection and comfortable trekking shoes.
Kuruva Island & Tribal Village Experience
Visit Kuruva Island, a protected river island with easy boardwalks, birdlife and bamboo groves — ideal for families. Later, enjoy an authentic Tribal Village visit where local guides demonstrate traditional crafts, food and cultural practices. Evening at leisure with a campfire option at the resort (seasonal).
Cultural Tip: Be respectful when photographing tribal members; ask permission and avoid sensitive areas.
Local Shopping, Leisure & Departure
After breakfast, relax at the resort or visit local markets in Kalpetta for spices, tea, coffee and handicrafts. Check out and transfer to Kozhikode for your onward train/flight. End of the Wayanad Family Adventure package.

They Sorted a Hotel Crisis Mid-Trip
We were two days into our Kerala trip with my husband when the houseboat booking got cancelled last minute — something to do with the operator. I panicked and called our TourGrids coordinator Ravi around 9 PM. He picked up immediately, found us an alternate houseboat in Alleppey, and had the confirmation in my WhatsApp within the hour. Same price, no extra charges, honestly a better boat than the original. The rest of the trip — Munnar, Kovalam, the whole itinerary — went completely smooth. Hotels were proper good, cabs were always on time. What I appreciated most is that someone actually answered when it mattered.
