WAYANAD COORG (2NIGHTS & 3DAYS) BACKPACKING TRIP

The lush-green town of Wayanad in Kerala is hidden in the Malabar region on the Western Ghats. Sparsely populated, the forest-covered region abounds in picturesque hills meandered with streams, tea estates, and wildlife sanctuaries. Referred to as the ‘Spice Garden of India’, Wayanad is a hub of spices such as cardamom, star anise, fenugreek, black pepper, black cumin etc. Adding to its treasures is the Asia’s second largest and India’s largest damn, the Banasura Sagar Dam, the Edakkal Caves from the Neolithic Age to trek to. Witness a majestic sunset at the backdrop of the dam, go for hiking, mountaineering, camping or rock climbing, you’d never run out of fun activities at Wayanad. Coorg, ornated by an omnipresent layer of clouds over its low-lying hills and surrounded with coffee plantations is the place to be for any nature lover. At a distance of just about 270 km from Bangalore, the small, misty town would be the perfect getaway weekend after a tiring week.
