The reason for booking Wayanad Wild is simple. The northern edge of the state is breathtaking and offers a peek into the life of its wild inhabitants far too easily – sometimes a little too easy- for example, from your perch in the garden or the edge of the swimming pool. This, coupled with subtle luxuries in the middle of wilderness gives ample reason to stay here. When talking of Kerala’s virtues, travellers often have to stop and take a breath when thinking of Wayanad’s intense green environs and deep forests in a thousand shades of green. This is one of the most stunning regions of the state.

Reaching the forest lodge takes a 3.5km drive through a wooded forest is just the beginning of the intrigue. The property lies in the heart of the rainforest with an infinity pool hung over the edge of a rock, overlooking foliage. Bird calls, colourful insects and a variety of trumpeting and howling friends are in close vicinity at all times. Even though you have access to the wild and wooden land at all times, the rooms of Wayanad Wild are delightfully modern (though without air-conditioning as you don’t need it). There are plenty of lookouts and large glass panes that allow the palate of your view to remain primarily green at all times. 

The culinary vision of Wayanad Wild it to make sure that the guests get fresh, local dishes with a healthy twist. Fresh ingredients from around the resort coupled with the chef’s (he’s been with the resort for decades) ingenuity is a celebration of inventive and nourishing dining experience. Be prepared for a lot of local recipes to come your way. 

Wayanad Wild is every nature lover’s dream come true with knowledgeable local naturalists who can give you extensive insights into the living creatures and plant life of this thriving land. A rafting and ziplining trip can also be arranged apart from easy hikes and a tryst with the outdoors at any time. Some might think that this may not be the most kid-friendly stay in Wayanad, but we feel this is an extremely immersive option if you want to introduce children to nature.
