Guys - I am planning for trip to Wayanad by this month end to celebrate our anniversary. Two more friends / family from Bangalore and one family from Chennai is joining us too.
Need suggestions on the following points.
Travel:
Stay:
Decided with Homestay for few reasons. Homely Feeling, Home Made Type Food of the Local Cuisine - Can't think of anything else when in Kerala... Most importantly, all families can stay in one place which is more fun and serves the purpose of having such a getaway. I dislike single room type of hotel / resorts for that reason. Cottage can be a good option too. However, it's more expensive and accommodating 4 families may not be possible, generally.
We are looking for some good homestay options and working on it. Any suggestions are welcome.
Places of Interest:
List all that you know. Some are saying, driving by own in Wayanad is not advisable. Any reason that you know? Because, it's hilly etc.? I don't think it would be a challenge. Yet, need suggestions from folks had been there.
What else?
