## Stays by need
- [Banasura Sagar Dam](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/banasura-sagar-dam/): Walk along the dam top for views of the reservoir and its islands, take a speedboat or pedal-boat ride, and in clear weather join a guided walk on Banasura Hill. The dam is often described as the largest earth dam in India and is about 25 km from Vythiri, under an hour's drive.
- [Bangalore to Wayanad](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/bangalore-to-wayanad/): About 290 km from Bengaluru to Vythiri in south Wayanad, a drive of 6.5 to 7 hours. The main route runs via Mysuru, Gundlupet, the Bandipur and Muthanga forests, Sulthan Bathery and Kalpetta. The forest stretch on NH 766 is closed to most traffic from 9 pm to 6 am, so plan to cross it in daylight.
- [Chembra Peak trek](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/chembra-peak-trek/): Chembra Peak, about 2,100 m, is reached on a guided forest-department trek that starts near Meppadi, about 20 km from Vythiri. Permits are issued in the morning to a limited number of groups, the trek goes up through grassland to a heart-shaped lake, and it closes during fire season, heavy rain and conservation periods.
- [Edakkal Caves](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/edakkal-caves/): Edakkal Caves are two natural rock chambers on Ambukuthi Mala, near Sulthan Bathery in Wayanad, whose walls carry carved human and animal figures and symbols, some believed to be several thousand years old. Reaching them takes a steep climb of about 45 minutes, and entry tickets are limited each day.
- [Family resorts in Wayanad](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/family-resorts-in-wayanad/): The best family resort is the one that fits your group: a room that sleeps everyone, a pool with a shallow end, food on site and a short drive to the sights you plan to see. For a first trip, resorts around Vythiri, Lakkidi and Kalpetta are the easiest base. Send us your dates and family size and we suggest resorts that are free.
- [Group stays in Wayanad](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/group-stays-in-wayanad/): Large groups usually do best in a private villa or small resort booked only for them, or in a resort with enough rooms close together. Check that your tempo traveller or bus can reach the gate, that food can be served for the whole group, and the rules on music and campfires. Send us your group size and dates and we suggest stays that fit.
- [Kochi to Wayanad](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/kochi-to-wayanad/): About 260 km from Kochi to Vythiri in south Wayanad, a drive of 6 to 7 hours via Thrissur and Kozhikode, finishing up the Thamarassery Ghat. Many travellers instead take a train from Ernakulam to Kozhikode, about 4 hours, then drive the last 60 km, about 2 hours.
- [Kozhikode to Wayanad](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/kozhikode-to-wayanad/): About 60 km from Kozhikode city to Vythiri, around 2 hours by road on NH 766 via Thamarassery and the ghat road to Lakkidi. From Calicut International Airport it is about 90 km, 2.5 to 3 hours. Kozhikode railway station is the nearest major station, about 65 km away.
- [Mysore to Wayanad](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/mysore-to-wayanad/): About 150 km from Mysuru to Vythiri, a drive of 3.5 to 4 hours. The road goes south to Gundlupet, through the Bandipur and Muthanga forests on NH 766, then via Sulthan Bathery and Kalpetta. The forest stretch is closed to most traffic between 9 pm and 6 am, so drive it in daylight.
- [Private resorts in Wayanad](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/private-resort-in-wayanad/): A private resort is a villa or small property that is booked for one group only, so the pool, lawn and dining area are yours for the stay. In Wayanad they range from luxury pool villas to simple plantation bungalows, usually with a cook or caretaker. Send us your group size and dates and we find private stays that are free.
- [Resort for 10 people](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/resort-in-wayanad-for-10-people/): For ten people, look at private villas with four or five bedrooms, or resorts that can give you three or four rooms side by side. A villa with a pool and a cook is often cheaper per person than separate rooms. Send us your dates, how many are adults and children, and your budget, and we suggest stays for ten that are free.
- [Resorts in Vythiri](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/resorts-in-vythiri/): Vythiri is just past the top of the Thamarassery Ghat, so it is the quickest part of Wayanad to reach from Kozhikode and Kochi. Pookode Lake is a few minutes away, and Chembra Peak, Soochipara Falls and Banasura Sagar Dam are under an hour. It has resorts at every budget, from tree houses to luxury pool villas.
- [Resorts for couples](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/resorts-in-wayanad-for-couples/): For couples the best stays are quiet rooms with a view: a pool villa, a tree house or a plantation cottage away from group rooms. Vythiri and Lakkidi have the most choice and are close to Pookode Lake. Tell us your dates, budget and whether you want a private pool, and we send couple-friendly resorts that are free.
- [Resorts with swimming pool](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/resorts-in-wayanad-with-swimming-pool/): Most mid-range and luxury resorts in Wayanad have a pool, and many budget resorts do too. They range from small plunge pools in couple villas to large family pools and valley-view infinity pools. Tell us who is swimming, your budget and your dates, and we send resorts with a suitable pool that are free.
- [Wayanad in monsoon](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/wayanad-in-monsoon/): Yes, if you want rain, mist and quiet more than treks. From June to September the hills are at their greenest and waterfalls such as Soochipara and Meenmutty are at their fullest. Some treks and Kuruva Island usually close, roads are slower, and district rain alerts should be checked before driving.
- [Resorts with activities](https://www.resortinwayanad.in/wayanad-resort-activities/): Many Wayanad resorts offer a campfire, barbecue and plantation walks, and some have zip lines, rope courses or indoor games. The best treks, falls and safaris are outside the resort, so location matters as much as the list of activities. Tell us what you want to do and we suggest resorts that offer it.

## FAQ
### How do I book a resort in Wayanad through you?
Send us a WhatsApp message at +91 90610 79722 with your dates, number of adults and children, and your budget. We reply with resorts that have rooms free for those dates, with photos and the rate. Pick one and we book it, then send you the resort's name, address and booking details in writing.

### What kinds of resorts can you book?
Private resorts and villas booked only for your group, luxury resorts with pool villas and spas, affordable resorts with a pool and restaurant, and budget cottages and homestays. Stay types include private pool villas, tree houses, plantation cottages, family suites and couple-friendly rooms across Wayanad.

### Which part of Wayanad should we stay in?
For a first trip, Vythiri, Lakkidi and Kalpetta are the easiest bases: on the main road from Kozhikode and close to Pookode Lake, Chembra Peak and Banasura Sagar Dam. Sulthan Bathery suits Edakkal Caves and Muthanga, and Mananthavady suits Thirunelli and Tholpetty. Tell us your plans and we suggest an area.

### What is the best time to visit Wayanad?
October to May has the most dependable weather: clear mornings, cool nights and every trek open. December and January are the coolest months. June to September is the monsoon, when the hills are greenest and the waterfalls are full, but some treks and Kuruva Island close.

### Is Wayanad worth visiting in the monsoon?
Yes, if you want rain, mist and quiet. From June to September the tea hills turn bright green and many resorts are less busy. Plan for slow days: a few treks and river spots close, roads can be slippery, and short power cuts happen. Waterfalls such as Soochipara are at their fullest after the rains.

### Can you find a resort for a large group?
Yes. For groups we look for private villas and resorts that can be booked only for you, or resorts with enough rooms close together. Tell us the number of guests, how many rooms you need and whether a tempo traveller or bus is coming, so we only suggest places it can reach.

### Are meals included?
Breakfast is included at most resorts we book, and we tell you before you confirm. Most resorts serve Kerala food such as appam with stew, fish curry and a banana-leaf meal, plus some North Indian dishes. Tell us about vegetarian needs or allergies and we check with the resort.

### Do check-in times and cancellation rules differ between resorts?
Yes. Each resort has its own check-in time, advance and cancellation rule, children's policy and pet policy. We tell you the rules of the resort you choose before you pay anything, so you can compare them along with the rate.
