Best Time To Visit Wayanad

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

Though Wayanad has a salubrious atmosphere all through the year, the best time to visit Wayanad is during the months of winter, i.e. from September to April. Nestled in the Western Ghats, Wayanad is considered one of the best hill stations in Kerala. The weather in Wayanad from September to April is considered very good for an outing in Wayanad and the misty breeze flows during these months making the atmosphere apt for tourist activities. 

Wayanad is blessed with a pretty nice climate almost throughout the year. There is as such no worst time to visit Wayanad. However, the months from March to May can be avoided as these are the sunniest months in Wayanad with humidity in the air. Weather in Wayanad in May is pretty unpleasant as the days are quite hot with humidity. Sightseeing in these months during the noontime can be unpleasant but evenings are pretty cool and relaxing. 

To get a better idea of the best time to visit this hill station, have a look at the below guide.

March-May(20°C to 35 °C):

This is the time when the weather is hot yet with a cool wind coming in from the forests. In May, the rains are unpredictable, pouring in torrents. But Wayanad in summer is still better than the plains of Kerala.

June - September(17°C to 29 °C):

This is when the south-west and the north-east monsoons set in making it the best season to visit Wayanad. The rains bring with them a glow that is seen to be believed. The mist covers the mountains in the morning turning it into a dreamland during monsoon in Wayanad. This is the time when trekkers throng to the Western Ghats as the flora thrives and the animals and birds come in droves.

December - February(22°C to 34 °C):

Though each season has its charm, winters are the best time to visit Wayanad. This is the preferred season for tourists and the best time to visit Wayanad for honeymoon.

Camping and road trips in the Western Ghats, wildlife tracking, video, and photography and visiting the famous heart-shaped lake on the top of the hills in Wayanad are the popular activities making winters the best season to visit Wayanad.

Famous Festivals Celebrated in Wayanad

Karthigai: This is also called the light festival in Wayanad. All the families take part in this festival and light a bonfire out of all the useless materials. And each family of the village lights a torch made of palm leaves from this bonfire and takes it to their houses. The houses in Wayanad lit up and sparkle during this one of the most auspicious Wayanad festivals.

Ashthami Rohini: This festival marks the birthday of Lord Krishna and is celebrated in Wayanad with great pomp and show. People visit Krishna temples to offer their prayers to Lord Krishna. Many cultural shows, dances, and rituals are performed during this festival.

Thirunelli Festival: This festival is celebrated annually during the month of April on the eve of Lord Vishnu. On this auspicious festival, people take a dip in the river Papanashini. It is said that taking a dip in the holy waters of Papanashini helps to shred off all the sins.

    Ashish Bhure

    Ashish's 5 days trip to Wayanad

    We recently spent 6N and 7 days vacation memorable trip in Kerela. I got a very customized package from TT that suits to me and my wife. hotels and breakfast was awesome which we liked very much. The only problems we faced with unprofessional drivers. Kerela is a tourist place where whatever amount
    you spend on activities and other things you have to rely on your driver who has little commission. On our trip to Munnar, I checked in at the hotel around 8 pm which we didn't like. I would recommend fellow travelers to Just fix the time before they plan their day in and day out on vacation.

    Jitendrasingh Moc

    New delhi

    Jitendrasingh's 7 days trip to Wayanad

    Everything was ok, except hotel isola de coco. I was told while booking that it is in kovalam, but it was in Poovar just adjacent to the one which I stayed for previous days. Even the itinerary mention it in kovalam. It is a kind of misguidance on Agents part because when I visited kovalam, it’s t
    otally a different place and not same as Poovar as told by travel agent. Last resort in Munnar (Exilir) was very bad, that was not a five star property, rather it can not be given 3 star. Food was so low quality, stinky room with stinky toilets. It is only when I asked staff to change my room , they took initiative. Rameshwaram was incredible, Munnar teas estate is something lifetime visit

    Jrg's 5 days trip to Wayanad

    Interesting 5 days through the nature of Kerala. Nice driver and houseboat crew, one of the best meals on the houseboat. Car and houseboat under expectations (or we would have upgraded if we had known), hotels very good but our own choice and upgraded. all in all a good experience!

    Shiva Shankar

    Hyderabad

    Shiva's 5 days trip to Wayanad

    Agency booking for hotels : Overall its not promising as i had specifically requested to have bookings done near munnar and Thekkady. They have booked 12 to 15 kms away from Munnar which has caused a lot of inconvienience to travel morning and evening . I have asked them to book near by hotels they
    have not taken into consideration Driver and Car: Excellent driver and shown the places but it would have been better if he was given more instructions of places to visit. which was missing Hotel in Munnar : i was the only guest in the hotel and charges are more per day. no provision for lunch on the day of check in. we had to travel 10 kms for lunch as its far away from city. Hotel in Thekkaday : Same story far away from Thekkady . it could have been better if we were given room in Thekkady as tthis is off season. House boat in Allepey : worst 2 bed room not cleaned , it was very old boat and cleaning was not done from Dream waters. Maintainence is very poor. after i have gone there i have seen other better house boats at same price. this is worst. But the caretakers service was good . Massage was very bad. house boat has tied up with Massage center in the village. it was not worthy for the money.

    Sudhak's 4 days trip to Wayanad

    The trip went smoothly without any disturbances. Only the hotel which you suggested, its average. The hotel room was fine but the hotel restaurant and their service is really bad, we are disappointed other than that my trip went well.
