All About It
- For 8+ years
The lush-green town of Wayanad in Kerala is hidden in the Malabar region on the Western Ghats. Sparsely populated, the forest-covered region abounds in picturesque hills meandered with streams, tea estates, and wildlife sanctuaries.
Referred to as the ‘Spice Garden of India’, Wayanad is a hub of spices such as cardamom, star anise, fenugreek, black pepper, black cumin etc. Adding to its treasures is the Asia’s second largest and India’s largest damn, the Banasura Sagar Dam, the Edakkal Caves from the Neolithic Age to trek to. Witness a majestic sunset at the backdrop of the dam, go for hiking, mountaineering, camping or rock climbing, you’d never run out of fun activities at Wayanad

"It isn't how much time you spend in a place for sight seeing that makes it memorable, but It's how and whom you spend the time with." Just give your time and days to Tripper Trails, and they will make sure you get the best out of those. A well coordinated group of Captains leading you all along throughout, ensuring that you enjoy each second of your journey. Even though we went in a group of 3, came back in a group of 20+ taking a lot of good memories to treasure for the rest of our lives😇. Well coordinated, good hospitality, safety ensured with crazy memories, many more to say..... Thank you Captains, Mr Amit, Mr Vinay and Mr Prathik . Enjoyed the trip to its each inch. Recommending the same for anybody who seek a weekend or other trips offered by Tripper Trails.

Wayanad Backpacking trip :
Located at 700 m above sea level in the northern hills of Kerala, is the picturesque hill station of Wayanad surrounded by verdant forests, adventurous hiking trails, and majestic waterfalls. The term ‘Wayanad’ is derived from the Malayalam word, ‘vayal nadu’ or the land of paddy fields. But the region is not just for nature lovers or adventure enthusiasts. With the Western Ghats cradling this tranquil town, and terraced fields adding to its charm, Wayanad is a sought-after weekend destination, if you are a Bangalorean. Explore our Wayanad packages from Bangalore, as you uncover the secrets of this quaintly, old town. Did you know certain interesting facts about the town? As you delve deep into its old charms with our Wayanad packages, let us tell you a few lesser-known facts about this place.
Wayanad has been gifted with a unique cultural history. The civilizations native to this region date back to the Neolithic Age. There are several tribes inhabiting Wayanad such as the Vettakkuruman, Adiyan, Mullukkurman, Paniyan, Wayanad Kadar, Kurichyan, Kattuniakkan and Thachaanadan Mooppan making it the place with the largest tribal population in Kerala. Places such as the Thirunelli Temple which is an ancient shrine nestled in the Brahmagiri Hills depict how revered this township is, among the locals. With our Wayanad package, you can also explore the Banasura Sagar Dam, which is the largest earthen dam in Asia. This place offers a breathtaking view of the setting sun.
Not just that, Wayanad is also blessed with a rich biodiversity. Our Wayanad package gives you a chance to watch the flora and fauna of this place in all its glory. In these forests, you will find rare species such as leopards, elephants, Indian bison etc, making it a favourite spot for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. But the fun does not stop here. Our Wayanad package is full of something for everyone. If you are adventurous enough and want to try out something offbeat, you can go for a trek to the Chembra Peak. Moreover, the Edakkal Caves are one of the oldest caves in the world. These form a part of a rare chain of caves in South India where engravings by the Neolithic men can be found, proving the relation of this part of the country to the one from the Harappa or Indus Valley Civilization. Isn’t it wonderful to witness all of these all by yourself, as a part of our Wayanad package?
Many adrenaline junkies also love to go for ziplining along with other adventure sports in Wayanad.Our Wayanad package offers a comprehensive list of the best things you can do while in the town and we recommend that you definitely do not miss out on any of these.
Moreover, if you want to taste the Kerala spices or take a walk through the tea estate early in the morning, Wayanad is just the place to be. A drive to Wayanad through the forests of Bandipur or Nagarhole can just present you with an adventure where you get to witness a variety of flora and fauna!
Our Wayanad package offers a perfect recluse to this misty, charming town as a weekend getaway from Bangalore, for those looking to spend some time with nature, away from the city lights!
