Wayanad is an amazing weekend getaway at a distance of 280 kms from Bangalore, Karnataka. We, being a group of 9 people, did a traveler, which i will suggest is a big no, because the drive is so beautiful, you need to do it in your car or a bike. We left early morning at around 3:30 am for Wayanad. The journey was fun, even though it was too hot. Please note that the best time to go Wayanad is from October till May. Our timing was bad :(
We directly went to our Airbnb which was an amazing property. We freshened up and directly left for places to see.
We were excited to see Chembra Lake, which is in the shape of a heart but sadly it was closed because of reasons unknown. We then started our journey to Muneswara Muni trek, which leads to a beautiful view point. The trek took hardly 20 minutes to complete.From there, we started exploring random places nearby and found a lot of tea estates nearby. Walking across this beautiful place was not tiring or exhausting. Had it been some other season, we could have kept roaming till late night, but better sense prevailed and we decided to have a small party at our house in Wayanad.
After waking up a little late, we started for the Banasura dam which was close to our place. We went there, relaxed and started on our way back for some other explorations nearby. There were numerous viewpoints on our way back and i don't even recollect half of their names. The entire way is dispersed with lush greenery and beautiful roads.
