One of Kerala's most loved tourist destinations, Wayanad is home to many luxury stays and offers several activities to travelers. Wayanad seems to have it all--hills, tea plantations, a wildlife sanctuary, ancient caves, and freshwater lakes. A charming hill station, Wayanad is located at an altitude of 2,100 meters above sea level. Here are some must-do activities if you're visiting Wayanad.

Information
How to reach Wayanad?

The nearest airport to Wayanad is Karipur International Airport from where you can take a cab. The nearest railway station is Kozhikode, but it's also far and you'll need a cab. However, there are bus services from all nearby cities to Wayanad.

#1
Go ziplining

If you are an adventurous traveler, you must try ziplining over the tea estates in Wayanad. With many available options, you can also choose a zipline that fits your adrenalin rush. Zip-lining is a thrilling experience. If you're ziplining for the first time, believe us you'll run back for another trip, and another and another, until they won't allow you anymore!

#2
Boating in Pookode Lake

Boating with your pals or partner is always fun. A freshwater lake in Wayanad, Pookode is popular for a variety of fishes, blue lotuses, and lots of birds. The lake is also almost shaped like India's map. After you're done with boating you can also visit the nearby freshwater aquarium, and then go shopping for handiwork and spices.

#3
Trek to Chembra Peak

Chembra Peak sits at a height of 6,900 feet and you will need to take certain permissions from the Forest Department before beginning the trek.
