Things to do in Waynad (kerela)



Nestled on a western ghat , Waynad is a beautiful hill station in Kerala. The Bangalore to waynad road distance is approximately 290 km and takes about 5 hours by car.

To cover all the spots you need atleast 3 days in waynad as tourist spots are spread in three directions from main city that too all are atleast 25 to 30 km away . 

For this trip we were very clear that will cover only those areas which is closed to our resort since we travel in the month of April, it was little hot weather with pleasent morning and evening.

We started our journey from Bangalore little late by 10 am in the morning as our booking were already done at sterling and for the very first time we were going to stay in same resort for next 3 days ..so we were in no hurries.😊

Around  3.30 pm we were at our resort which is in vythri village. 

After taking rest for 2 hours ..we were headed for our first destination i.e Honey Museum which was just 2km ahead of our resort and opened till 9 pm in the evening. 

Day 1 -

very well maintained museum with guided tour and fresh 🍯 Honey tasting experience is must do with your kids . It educative and good place to purchase some good honey and it's byproduct. Ticket price is Rs 30 for adult and Rs 20 for kids above 6 years old. 
after purchasing so many sovenair we came for dinner. 
Waynad has developed a lot from past 10 years and food available here is mix of Arabian n middle East cuisine apart from local kerela cuisine.

The mud house, their tribal music , their culture is really what I liked the most. Operating timing is 9am to 5pm .

Pookode lake - This lake is also near vaythri, paidal boating is available at this lake . We skipped this lake after seeing the condition of the lake which does not looks so clean n hygienic. However this is very famous lake of the city and Government soon maintained it back . 

 
While returning we had our dinner at Hotel Royal park and came back to resort.

Day 3

 Zipline: there are so many ziplining activities are available at waynad. We choose muddy boots ziplining which was 2 km away from our resort as this ziplining crosses above the tea garden . The price for ziplining was Rs 350/- per person.it was worth the money.
Glass bridge :waynad ultra adventure park
Earlier there was only one glass bridge at waynad at kandi forwhich you have to travel approx 20 km from the city. But know more worries one more big glass bridge is at vythri village under (waynad ultra adventure park) which will cost you 300 INR per person along with so many activities like Bali swing , giant swing , Superman swing , rain dance , longest bungee jumping and many more.Differrent  activities has different price.giant swing

You have to do a trekking of 2 km from parking area to reach the the main ticket counter.the ticket price is Rs 50  + Rs 50 for parking your vehicle. 
The parking slot in 1 to 6 ask them to give you 1 and 2 which is near entrance for trekking. I heard Jeep facilities are there to reach near ticket counter, however we could not found any during our Trekk. There are lot of eateries and local market is there on the way .


Mathunga wildlife sanctuary

If  you have time you can. Do safari at this wildlife sanctuary which open at 6 am in the morning. Since it was summer time we could not spot many apart from giant squirrel 🐿️🐿️, bunch of elephant , deers and peacock 🦚
