About The Trip
Sometimes, all you need is a weekend where the mountains do the talking.
This Wayanad escape is for those who want to slow down without doing nothing. You’ll wake up to misty hill views, fuel up with a proper Kerala breakfast, and spend your day moving between waterfalls, tea plantations, and a little bit of adrenaline — ziplining over greens, off-roading through rugged trails, and soaking in views that make you forget the city completely.
Evenings are meant for unwinding — a warm bonfire, good food, music, conversations, and the kind of silence you only find in the hills. Day two keeps it easy and soulful with scenic drives, calm waters at Banasura Sagar Dam, playful animal encounters, and a taste of Kerala’s local flavours, before you head back through the forested roads of Bandipur.
Unplanned, unrushed, and exactly how a weekend getaway should feel.

Details
We begin our Wayanad trip on Friday at 9:30 pm, gathering at the designated pickup point in Bangalore. After meeting your fellow trippers and our friendly Trip Captain, we board our comfortable Tempo Traveller for an overnight Wayanad trip from Bangalore to the misty hills of Kerala. The journey is all about good vibes; booming music, breezy roads, laughter, and conversations that spark new friendships. Buckle up for a fun-filled ride that sets the tone for an epic weekend getaway!
Details
Arrive at the campsite early in the morning, situated in a wonderful hilltop location with foggy surroundings and a serene atmosphere. Freshen up and give Wayanad 2-day package a kickstart with a yummy, true-blue Kerala-style breakfast, complete with idlis, dosas, and coffee. After breakfast, we proceed to the beautiful Soochipara Waterfalls. Take a short trek into nature and enjoy the view (or a dip!) in the cool cascading waters surrounded by rocky cliffs and greenery.
After that, we visit the longest zipline in Wayanad, which spans over green tea plantations, as part of our Wayanad package. It's a high-octane yet secure ride that offers you a bird's-eye view of emerald-colored valleys. We then have lunch at a local eatery. Food here is limited but authentic and full of local flavour.
Following lunch, we drive to the beautiful 900 Kandi – an unmissable off-beat attraction in Wayanad. There, you'll board an off-road jeep for a roller-coaster forest drive, concluding at the Glass Bridge that affords panoramic vistas of the Wayanad hill ranges. The tranquil and thrilling destination is among the highlights of our Wayanad trip from Bangalore.
With a packed day of adventure, relax once more at the campsite. If the weather is suitable, enjoy a mystical bonfire session from 9 PM to 10 PM. (Note: Bonfire depends on the weather, and timing is fixed in order not to disturb the surrounding nature. Then, savour a sumptuous dinner of veg/chicken curry with ghee rice. Reunite with your travel companion to share stories, listen to music, or simply unwind amidst the studded sky. It's the ideal way to spend the evening, making memories that will last a lifetime. Sleep for the night in your allocated tents, immersed in the serenity of nature.
Details
Wake up early and step out to soak in 360-degree views right from the property — misty hills, quiet mornings, and fresh mountain air doing their thing. After easing into the day, we head out to Banasura Sagar Dam, where the calm waters sit beautifully against the backdrop of the Western Ghats. If the weather’s on our side, you can opt for water activities like speed boating, kayaking, or a peaceful coracle ride.
We then stop for a simple, wholesome Kerala-style lunch at a local restaurant before heading to Wonderland Exotic Pet Farm — a fun, feel-good stop where you can meet, feed, and interact with animals, from friendly farm residents to rare exotic species.
Before we wrap up, we get a crunchy slice of local culture with a live banana chips making experience, watching fresh bananas turn golden and crispy right in front of us. With hearts full and cameras heavier, we say goodbye to Wayanad and begin our journey back to Bangalore, driving through the forest roads of Bandipur National Park, carrying back slow moments, big smiles, and weekend memories done right.
