A trip to Wayanad (Kerala) -a nature lover’s destination and sheer indulgence!

Welcome to Wayanad

One Team-   One Family - One Big Outing!

What makes one a friend in life; is knowing them in and out, true self? .When you work along in the office space; Professionalism and decorum is in grace. Friendship blossoms as we know each other; and takes on to the bonds of share and care. When you spend most of your life at work; Making work life better is the only lark. That too given a chance to cherish the moment with the spouse and children, it becomes a heaven! When Colleagues turned friends, get on a trip, what else you need than cheer and happiness around. 

Initiation, Planning and Execution is the job we mastered to do, monitoring and control, our spouses too! This time, away from the technical hum bucks and gadgets glues, we got into the freeness of Nature true. Together, we boarded the train, started to know each other truly and better towards the real YOU! Families and children were added fun and happiness, as we explored the greenery of God’s Own Country.

Journey towards Wayanad, beauty on earth with its natural abundance and mystic beauty of mountains and valley, what else can you ask for than a breath of fresh air.  Food, Fun, Games, Jokes, Romantic stories, songs unwinded with few steps of surprise dance moves. Creativity and comedy unfolded without asking and entertainment went to its peak.

Crown Jewel of Kerala- Wayanad, a nature lover’s destination and sheer indulgence!

Curves of the road massaged our bodies but did not strain our spirits or togetherness.   The happiness of the trip to Wayanad lies in its beauty of the valley, the tea estates, the coffee gardens, the long betel trees, making you indulge in the serene heaven on earth.   It will also give you ample space to spend time in your own silence and recognize the inner self, calmly, slowly and peacefully.   Indulgence is just a short word when you make a trip to Wayanad.

Love for Earth, the greenery, the love for nature, bio-diversity and hearing the sounds of various birds and watching out for animals, make you feel the forests completely.   The gushing sounds of waters around make you take the treks in search of the brooks and possibly waterfalls.  The hanging jackfruit gardens around, the swaying coconut lagoons,  trek inviting slopes and man-made paths to walk, the flowers of all colours around is just an immense joy to experience.    Kerala, is as such the lap of Mother Nature.   Wayanad is just the crown jewel of Kerala.   

One destination for Nature Lovers, not to be missed!

Tour ends…

What we did and what we learnt!

We visited the Banasurasagar Dam and Day 1 plan went on as the tour operator planned.  We ended up at resort late in the evening and retired for the day.  

Day 2, we decided we will enjoy the pleasure of the Meenmutty Heights resorts we have taken to stay… 4 hours of playing and moments at Swimming pool and an entire evening of games, songs, dance and fun.  Children had the best time on Day 2 with so much fun and rain god’s ensured we do not get around the bonfire, but stay close and tight in the roof top indoors where we continue to cherish every moment.  The resort itself was in the lap of Neelimalai Mountains, tea gardens and coffee and betel trees around and surrounded by mountain valleys, brooks, tall trees and lovely gardens, swings and birds, and play area.   Trek trails and walking paths, and cycling for children.

Day 3, we visited kuruwadeep island and had authentic Kerala home food before we returned to Calicut.
