Route and stops: Bangalore to Wayanad travel guide.
Near Ambalavayal, about 12 km from Sultan Bathery. From the parking it is a steep climb of about a kilometre to the carvings. Entry closes in the afternoon and the caves are closed on Mondays. Older people can wait at the base with the vehicle.
About 20 km from Kalpetta, past the Meppadi tea estates. A walk down through the forest takes you to the pool below the falls. Wear shoes with grip, as the rocks stay wet.
A small lake in the forest near Vythiri, with pedal boats and a walk around the edge. Have lunch in Vythiri.
A few minutes past Pookode, at the top of the Thamarassery ghat. On a clear day you see the hairpin bends going down to the plains.
About 20 km from Kalpetta. A long earth dam with islands in the reservoir and speed boats. Stay till the light goes down, then back to your room.
Leave by 7 AM, as it is about 50 km past Mananthavady. Only a fixed number of visitors are let in each day, and the island is closed during the monsoon. Bamboo rafts take you across the stream. Keep about two hours.
Back through Sultan Bathery and the Muthanga and Bandipur forest well before it closes. You reach Bangalore around 7 to 8 PM.
