Escape into the misty mountain peaks and lush rainforests of the Western Ghats with our 3-day Wayanad tour package. Curated by Team Yathri Holidays, this weekend trip takes you through dramatic mountain passes, ancient cave sites, peaceful river deltas, and sacred hill shrines.
Day 1: Ernakulam to Lakkidi via Scenic Wayanad Churam
Morning Departure & Mountain Ghat Pass
Board your AC luxury vehicle at 08:30 AM from Ernakulam, with convenient pickup stops at Thrissur Mannuthy Bypass (10:00 AM) and Calicut Bypass (01:30 PM). Ascend the famous Wayanad Churam (Thamarassery Ghat Pass), stopping at the iconic View Point to admire panoramic vistas of deep valleys and winding hairpin turns.
Evening Relaxation in Lakkidi
Arrive at the mist-shrouded hill resort of Lakkidi in the evening. Check into your 3-star AC hotel room, refresh, and enjoy a peaceful overnight stay surrounded by nature.
Pro-Tip: Keep your camera ready during the Churam drive, especially around the viewpoint, as mist frequently rolls over the mountain roads in the late afternoon.
Day 2: Lakes, Heritage, Wildlife & Sacred Tirunelli
Karlad Lake & Banasura Sagar Dam
After breakfast, start your day at Karlad Lake, a tranquil freshwater lake surrounded by greenery—perfect for morning nature walks, kayaking, ziplining, or light adventure activities. Next, visit Banasura Sagar Dam, one of the largest earthen dams in India, set against the scenic Banasura Hills with options for speed boating and coracle rides.
Pazhassi Tomb, Tholpetty Safari & Tirunelli Temple
Pay homage at the Pazhassi Raja Tomb, a quiet memorial commemorating Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, the legendary freedom fighter who resisted British rule. In the afternoon, head into Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary for an exciting jeep safari to observe wild elephants, deer, bison, and native bird species. Conclude your day with a visit to Tirunelli Temple, an ancient Vishnu temple nestled deep within the Brahmagiri Hills. Overnight stay in Tirunelly.
Traveler’s Note: Boating charges and adventure activities at Karlad Lake and Banasura Sagar Dam are optional and paid directly at the site.
Day 3: Edakkal Prehistoric Caves, Kuruva Island & Return
Edakkal Caves & Kuruva Island River Delta
Check out after breakfast and begin a light uphill trek to Edakkal Caves to view stone carvings dating back to prehistoric human civilization. Afterward, travel to Kuruva Island, a protected river delta on the Kabini River known for untouched bamboo groves and rich birdlife accessed by bamboo rafts.
Return Journey to Ernakulam
Begin your return drive toward the plains in the afternoon. Arrive back in Ernakulam around midnight (11:00 PM – 12:00 AM) with unforgettable memories of Wayanad.
Pro-Tip: Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip for the uphill stone trail leading to Edakkal Caves.
