Travel Information

Climate:

Wayanad has a salubrious climate with two monsoons that bathe the environment in life giving rainfall. The surrounding flora and fauna is rich in bio-diversity and is home to some of the most exquisite wild life in existence. The best time to visit Tranquil in order to get the most rewarding experience is during the post monsoon months of November to early March where the already thriving landscape comes further alive in an explosion of greenery and wild life. Expected temperatures are between 25 Centigrade to 15 Centigrade.
For those who love the rains, the time between mid June and mid August is a great time to experience the monsoons.
