Luxury Travel in Wayanad & Bekal: Kerala’s Hidden Gems
Discover Kerala’s Untouched Beauty
For many Keralans, Wayanad is the most breathtaking region in the state, a sanctuary of lush forests, rolling hills, and vibrant spice plantations. This tranquil escape blends mountain grandeur with emerald rice paddies, towering betel nut trees, bamboo groves, and sprawling cardamom, coffee, and rubber estates. Despite its increasing popularity, Wayanad remains unspoiled, offering a remote, immersive experience with nature. It’s also one of Kerala’s best locations to spot wild elephants in their natural habitat.
Further south, Bekal is a charming coastal destination, home to a stunning fort overlooking the Arabian Sea, a serene beachfront, and backwater experiences. While weekends bring lively local crowds, the weekdays here are idyllic and peaceful—perfect for a luxury retreat.
