Recently planned for a short summer trip to Wayanad Hill Station, a wonderful summer getaway location in Kerala. The name Wayanad is derived from “Vayal Nadu” which means the land of paddy fields. Wayanad has a pleasant weather throughout the year.
We visited most of the key Wayanad tourist places like Thirunelli Temple – ancient Lord Maha Vishnu at the Brahmagiri hill, Banasura Sagar Dam – the second largest earthen dam in Asia, Pookode Lake – beautiful freshwater lake with boating, Neelimala Viewpoint, Edakkal Caves – anicent stone age carvings in South India. Even though our plan had Tholpetti Wildlife Sanctury and Soochipara Waterfalls, they were closed temporarily because of the off-season. 
Special thanks and kudos for the KeyTerns team – Srini and Balaji for making this trip a wonderful experience. If you are planning for any tour, I would strongly recommend them.
