My memories of Wayanad – A city with natural beauty

Wayanad a city full of natural beauty

We went to Wayanad in 2011 when we just moved back to Bangalore. This was our first trip after moving to Bangalore and it was fun but also adventurous. We started pretty early in the morning for Wayanad which is almost 6-7 hour drive. We entered the forest area of Wayanad in almost 6 hours from Bangalore and were already very tired and thought our resort will be nearby. But to our surprise, it kept on driving and it took us almost 3 hours just to reach our resort.

By that time, we all were very sleepy and tired but it was so beautiful that we forgot everything else. The forest area which we crossed to reach the city was an experience which I can never forget. It was wonderful yet scary. At one point you feel, you are right in the middle of a forest with nobody else around you. You get to hear nothing but nature and breathe fresh air.

We did boating at famous Pookode lake and saw the famous sunset point. Kids also enjoyed the trekking in the green lush hilly areas.
