Wayanad Beckons
Apr 9, 2010 Cycling, Kerala, Wayanad, Weekend Getaway
Last time I visited Wayanad was in December 2006. It was a 3 day errand around Kalpetta, the district head quarters Wayanad. First two days were spent in visiting the lakes, dams and also safaris at Muthanga wildlife sanctuary & Tholpetty wildlife sanctuary, reserving the last day for trekking up Chembra peak.
Now after three and half years, I am visiting Wayanad this weekend. A two day visit – cycling around the tea estates, passing by the Chembra peak and visit to Meenmutty & Suchipara falls.

More on the ride once I’m back.
