From trekking to exploring ancient caves and witnessing cascading waterfalls, Wayanad guarantees an unforgettable monsoon experience. Let’s unravel the enchantment of Wayanad during the monsoon and explore why a stay at a boutique rainforest lodge can enhance your journey.

The Allure of Monsoon in Wayanad

Chembra Peak: A Trekker’s Delight – The adventure begins with Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek to Chembra Peak is a must-do for any adventure enthusiast. As you ascend, the heart-shaped lake halfway up the peak offers a mesmerizing sight, especially when surrounded by mist and rain. The trek is challenging yet rewarding, with the summit providing panoramic views of the rain-drenched landscape.
Edakkal Caves: A Walk Through History – Next, return to the Edakkal Caves, where ancient rock carvings and drawings await. These prehistoric caves are not just geological marvels but also treasure troves of history, with carvings that date back to the Neolithic age. The caves, filled with the sound of rain and the earthy smell of wet stone, offer a mystical experience.
Soochipara Falls: Nature’s Cascade – Monsoon is the best time to visit the waterfalls in Wayanad, and Soochipara Falls, also known as Sentinel Rock Waterfalls, is a sight to behold. This three-tiered waterfall, surrounded by dense forest, is a perfect spot for nature lovers. The thundering sound of water crashing down, the cool spray, and the lush greenery create a serene and captivating atmosphere.
Banasura Sagar Dam: A Scenic Escape – The Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India, is another highlight of Wayanad. During the monsoon, the reservoir fills up, creating a stunning landscape of small islands surrounded by water. Boating on the serene waters of the dam, while it rains, is an experience like no other, offering tranquility and breathtaking views.
Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary: A Safari Adventure – For wildlife enthusiasts, the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary is a must-visit. Part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, this sanctuary is home to elephants, leopards, deer, and various bird species. A safari through the rain-soaked forest offers a chance to see these animals in their natural habitat, making it an exciting and educational experience.
