Why Wayanad is a Backpacker’s Paradise
Wayanad, nestled in the Western Ghats of Kerala, is a region of scenic beauty that has remained relatively untouched by mass tourism. Its lush forests, misty hills, waterfalls, and wildlife sanctuaries make it a perfect destination for those seeking both adventure and serenity. Whether you are into trekking, camping, or simply soaking in the natural beauty, Wayanad offers something for every backpacker.
Best Time for Wayanad Backpacking
The best time to visit Wayanad is during the winter months from October to March, when the weather is cool and comfortable for outdoor activities. If you enjoy the monsoon season (June to September), Wayanad transforms into a lush green haven, although some treks may be difficult due to slippery paths. Summer (March to May) can be hot but is still manageable for shorter treks and sightseeing.
