Waynard . Review on Wayanad

It is more than a year planning planning but finaly made on june 24th.

Journey: Started from Bangalore at morning 5:00 AM Absolute No traffic and then reached mysore road on 5:30 The drive on a mysore road is good as for the 4  lane express Highway. My car never touched less than 80mphs . Reached mysore by around 7:30 Had breakfast over there and then left to gundlepet. The toad towards gudelpet is good and u can have a spped of 60 to 70 KM Per hrs and once u crossed gundlepet.Take a righ turn twords Waynard - Gudelpet to Kalpetta was an beautifu trip . guess what slowly the road tuned to greenery and I reached the check post for the bandipur Forest. From bandipur forest to Kalpetta was approxmatly 70KM even though the Road is excelled I maintaned the spped of 50 to 60 KM becasue of the seeing Beauty.We have seen no of Deers on our way and guss what the whole stecch of 70KM is the best if u dont wat to see u can travel at a seeed of 60 to 80 KM per hrous b ut we were5:00  driving slow as we seeing lot of wild life

At last at around 12:00 Noon we reached the Hotel green gates

The Hotel was good. It has the nature preserverd at the same time also it is just 1 km aways form the city Kalpetta.

There are other good resorts like Vithry and Rain country resors but the problem over there is ther is no electricty over ther and No TV and sice I Have a Kid of 2 yrs old I need the facility .

The hotel offers good views but also not so excellet when u check the site in the Internet but definatly above average. and Hospitality is excellete on a scal of 5 I rate it 5.

We took our lunch and left to Pookot late at 3:00 . The lake was the best ever I had compared to Ooty etc lake Fresh water mid of the Forest and guss what clear water I bet you will love it .

Next was lakkidi view and chain tree they are awason the view was greak from the lakkadi point .

We came back to hotel at around 5:00 PM and spend the rest of the dat int he hotel.(This Hotel is recommened if u want nature with Modern ametties Specially some one going with KIDS) if u are married couple(honeymoon) Check for the other options. as they will be much better

Next day we left to Eddikal Cave. We just returned half the way as  it invovled a trekking a tough one for appormatly 500 Mts but on a steep rocks wich I tough as I have to hold my 2 yrs old daughter on one Hand and go up and down which looks risky . But if u are a couple with no kids then it is possible to trek as it is not diffucult .

We had a lunch at Sultan Bathery and left to Muthan Wild life santurary the santuary was awsom. u have an option to take ur own vechile or hire a Forest dept Vechile sicne mine is Maruti 800 I prefer not to Take so I hired Jeep over the Entrience and for 250 Cheap and left the wild life is great we spooted Deers Sambars/BISONS/and some elephants 90 Min is awsom.

Recommendation: Better take their vechie as it is easy for the game viewing even though u hold a scopion or Tata sumo as the forest guard Make u a long trip via Their vechile than Urs and of cource u they know the Jungle laws and this is an elephant area and they know better how to handle .

We came back and left to Hotel back . next day we went to Trinually temple it is a excellete drive of 60 KM 90 min appromatly and the drive was awasom lot of steams Hill steams small falls and Dence Forest guss what u will enoy the Drive if u are nature Lover we spooted lot of deers on the way and the Road is excellent

After the Temple we came back to the hotel had our lunch and left for Suchipura falls( even thogy we had no Plans to go near the falls as it involves a trech of 1 KM) but while going u pass though 13KM via Tea estate and with lot of Hill steams and Crystal clear waters beautiful Road.

Suggestion: If u have a Kid then it is diffucult to treak holdin them in one hand other wise for couple it is possible easily( For old people eddical Cave and These water falls it not recommeded as it involved Trek)

We came back to the hotel next day we were not in a mood to leave but we have to depart

Recommedation:

Travel via this route as it is excellectn and at any point of time it wonnt let ur car Below 60KM/Hrs

Bangalore-> Mysore(150KM)->Gundelpet(56KM)->> Sultan BatteryForest excelet road(56KM).->Kalpetta(35KM) Appromalty 300KM

There is an alter nate road via Nagerhole National park the Problem is 40KM steach of road is very bad Guss what u cannt travel more than 15 to 20 KM per hours on that road of 40KM and that is a dence Forest

DONNT MAKE Travel during the Night times as if by mistake ur car is stuck or problem u wonnt get Help. Pls Rember FORSET IS VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL but IT IS EQUALLY DANGERIOUS.

Meetuaty falls needs a level 3 trekking so we have not gone

IF u are trekker guss what it is a paradise But trust If u are nature Lover u will Love the Whole Drive
