EXPERIENCE RATING
New on EvynxAn ancient forest-valley shrine and Wayanad's tallest waterfall, in one guided day.
About this experience
A guided day into North Wayanad, for travellers already based in Kalpetta. Your guide drives 65 km through Mananthavady and into Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary forest to Thirunelli, one of Kerala's oldest Vishnu shrines, set in a valley between three Brahmagiri hills with a centuries-old granite aqueduct still carrying water from the Papanasam spring to the sanctum. From there, the road runs south to the Wayanad Meenmutty Falls near Vythiri, a 300m three-tier cascade reached by a 45-60 minute forest trail through mixed evergreen and bamboo. Your guide manages the forest-road driving, temple etiquette and trail timing throughout the day.
