My Top Notch Experiences in Wayanad - A 2 day trip to Wyanad from Mysore

 

 

Journey in Wayanad : Top-Notch Experiences

Muthanga forest

         The most beautiful journey from Mysore to Wayanad begins here. We travelled from Mysore to Wayanad via Nanjangud, Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, Sulthan Bathery, Kalpetta and reached Vyithiri. Starting from Mysore Road via Muthanga forest itself is a visual treat. When you reach Muthanga forest, you can see a diverse wildlife of elephants, tigers, leopards, deer, and birds.

                                                                

        We stayed at Vythiri Stream View Resort, nestled in a hillock with a view of the stream and a massive green tea garden.

    

        Even though it's summertime, I was amazed at the lush greenery of Wayanad's stunning peaks and cloud-kissed mountains. In winter, this place offers a more pleasant, misty and chill climate for sure. Just imagine a cozy morning with a cup of hot tea or coffee, and enjoy the view for so long with our family. It's really a blissful day starting with an early sunrise, sounds of birds and a misty atmosphere.

One fine morning when I woke up!!

        Walking through this tea garden takes us to an attractive stream at the end of the tea garden. A small place is there for kids and grown-ups to play in the swing, spend time and enjoy the view of the stream.

        And near the rooms, there is a chill-out place with a small, beautiful garden and an outdoor swing. You can sit and relax there with your loved ones.

Places to Visit in Wayanad

Pookode Lake:

        In Pookode Lake, the natural fresh water with unique blue water lilies surrounded by evergreen forests will attract the tourists. This lake resembles the shape of an Indian map, and you can see a special variety of pethia pookodensis fish here.

        Good place to do activities like pedal boating, row boating and walking around the lake. A small kids' park, a shopping space and eateries are there to enjoy as well.

Wayanad Exotic Birds Park - Jungle Book:

        It is situated just opposite the Pookode Lake. They will provide you with fish food and bird food to feed them. They are allowing us to touch the birds. It's a good feeling that, when you feed the birds, they are sitting in our hands and eating the food grains.

Honey Museum:

        The honey museum in Wayanad provides a great learning experience about honey bees, honey production and the importance of beekeeping. They will give you varieties of honey for tasting, which include wild honey, lychee flower honey, tulsi honey, sidr flower honey and stingless bee honey. 

        If you want to purchase, you can choose any of these. In addition, there are so many other products kept for selling like medicinal bee products, chocolates, spices and cosmetic products.

Tea Museum:

    This tea museum offers visitors to taste different kinds of local tea flavours and allows them to experience them. They show many flavours, like Ginger tea, cardamom tea, chocolate tea, green tea and more. They are selling the tea packets along with so many flavours of essential oils. And they kept photos explaining the cultivation, history of tea, and so many old machines. 

Banasura Sagar Dam:

        It is 25 km away from Vyithiri, constructed with massive stacks of rocks and stones. Boating and trekking are the popular activities at this dam. More than the dam view, I just loved the nature park with so many swings. Kids' boating facilities are also there, which is near the nature park.

        It was a beautiful experience spending precious time with my family. And these are a few top-notch experiences that I recollect in Wayanad.
