Travelers who prefer quieter destinations
Can This Tour Be Done from Calicut (Kozhikode)?
Yes, this tour can be conveniently done from Calicut (now called Kozhikode), as Wayanad is located just a few hours' drive from the city. The road from Calicut to Wayanad passes through scenic ghat sections and forested hills, making the journey itself a pleasant part of the experience.
Travelers can choose to start and end the tour in Calicut, especially if they are arriving by flight or train. This option works well for shorter itineraries and helps reduce overall travel time compared to starting from more distant cities.
Can Wayanad Be Combined with Coorg or Ooty?
Yes, Wayanad can be combined with nearby hill destinations such as Coorg or Ooty to create a longer hill circuit. These combinations are ideal for travelers who want to explore multiple scenic regions within one trip. Depending on the duration, the itinerary can be adjusted to include two or more hill stations at a comfortable pace.
For travelers starting from Calicut (Kozhikode), combining Wayanad with Coorg is usually more practical, as it helps reduce overall travel time. Ooty can also be included in the itinerary, but it involves longer driving distances and is better suited for travelers who have additional time available.
Can Wayanad Be Included in Other Kerala Tours?
Wayanad can be included in longer Kerala itineraries, but it is not always the most practical addition to the popular Kerala circuits. Destinations such as Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey are located in central and southern Kerala, while Wayanad lies in the northern part of the state. Due to the distance and winding hill roads, combining these regions in a short itinerary can lead to long travel days and unnecessary travel fatigue.
For travelers coming from far-off regions who wish to cover multiple parts of Kerala in one extended trip, Wayanad can still be included with a longer schedule. However, in most cases, it is more comfortable to extend a Wayanad tour by combining it with nearby hill destinations such as Coorg or Ooty, which are geographically closer and better suited for a relaxed hill circuit.
Can Chembra Peak Be Included in a Wayanad Tour?
Yes, Chembra Peak is one of the most popular trekking destinations in Wayanad and can be included in the itinerary for travelers interested in nature walks and light trekking. The peak is known for its scenic trail and the heart-shaped lake located along the route, which has become a well-known attraction in the region.
The trek usually takes a few hours and offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills and forests. Since entry is regulated and permits are required, the visit is typically planned in advance and depends on weather conditions and forest department guidelines. It works best for travelers who are comfortable with short uphill walks and want to add a nature-based activity to their Wayanad trip.
In most cases, including Chembra Peak requires extending the itinerary by one additional day, so that the trek can be completed at a comfortable pace without rushing other sightseeing plans.
Best Time to Visit Hampi
The best time to visit Hampi is between October and March, when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for exploring outdoor monuments. During these months, daytime temperatures are pleasant, making it easier to walk between heritage sites. Summers can be very hot, especially from April to June, while the monsoon season brings greenery to the landscape but occasional travel disruptions.
