Detail Itinerary



Details

As the city lights of Bengaluru fade behind you, the road to North Malabar opens up ahead — winding through misty highways and sleepy towns. This overnight journey marks the beginning of a monsoon-soaked escape into the unexplored heart of Kerala. 




Details

The journey begins as you arrive at Cherupuzha bus stand, where our team will be waiting to welcome you. From there, we head straight to the cozy homestay tucked away amidst Malabar’s greenery. Kickstart the day with a hearty Kerala-style breakfast before heading out for a relaxed farm walk, soaking in the rustic charm of the countryside.

As the sun climbs higher, gear up for some water adventure — choose between kayaking or river rafting on the Thejaswani River, where gentle currents and lush banks make it both refreshing and fun. By afternoon, sit down to a wholesome lunch featuring authentic local cuisine.

Post-lunch, lace up your shoes for the highlight of the day: a short trek to Cloud Nest via Tabor Hills. This 5 km to-and-fro hike rewards you with sweeping views, misty landscapes, and the feeling of being perched above the clouds. It’s the perfect blend of effort and awe.

As dusk falls, return to the homestay for a traditional dinner packed with regional flavors. Spend the evening relaxing, sharing stories with fellow travellers, and letting the peaceful Malabar night lull you into rest — ready for the adventures that await.




Details

Wake up to the sounds of monsoon-drenched mornings and the smell of fresh breakfast. After a relaxed start, we head out to explore the ancient Odakkolly Caves — natural rock formations hidden deep in the wilderness, carrying tales as old as time. With curious shapes and tight corners, the caves offer just the right amount of thrill and mystery to start your day.

As we drive further, the landscape shifts from rugged rock to flowing waters, and we make our way to Meenthully Waterfalls. Tucked away in the forest, this seasonal beauty is the perfect finale to our journey — a place to sit, reflect, splash around, or simply enjoy nature’s music.

After a final meal en route, we begin our journey back, carrying with us stories of rivers crossed, trails walked, and a deeper connection with the untamed side of Malabar. Expect to reach Bengaluru by early morning the next day, tired but full of monsoon magic.
