Wayanad is rainforest, spice and coffee country bordering Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Edakkal Caves’ petroglyphs, Banasura Sagar and Soochipara Falls are the usual loop.

Kerala beyond the backwaters

Chembra Peak needs a permit and fitness. Wildlife at Muthanga or Tholpetty is about gaur and birds as much as tigers. Stay in a plantation bungalow, not only Kalpetta hotels.

This is a different Kerala from the existing backwaters story—cooler nights and forest drives.

PP Tour builds Wayanad with Kozhikode airport arrivals and optional Coorg crossovers.

Quick tips

• Monsoon waterfalls are dramatic but slippery
• Leech socks help on trails
• Book Chembra slots early
