You can plan this journey by private car or book a local bus. If you wish to have a hassle-free experience, you can book a Wayanad tour package from Bangalore covering transfers as well.

By Train

Wayanad does not have a direct railway station, making Kozhikode the nearest railway station. You can take a direct train from KSR Bengaluru City Junction (SBC) to Kozhikode Main (Calicut) CLT station covering approximately 552 kms in 11-14 hours. Once you deboard your train, you can continue the journey to Wayanad via NH 766, covering 85 kms in approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Best Time to Visit Wayanad

Peak Season (October to February)

The best time to plan a Wayanad trip from Bangalore is during winter when temperatures range between 15°C and 28°C. The weather remains suitable for trekking, wildlife safaris, camping, sightseeing, and plantation tours. You can visit places like Chembra Peak, Edakkal Caves, and Soochipara Falls, which receive high tourist footfalls during this season. Christmas, New Year, and long weekends also increase resort occupancy and pricing across premium stays and treehouses.

Monsoon Season (June to September)

Temperatures during the monsoon range between 18°C and 25°C with heavy rainfall across Wayanad’s forests, hills, and waterfalls. Travellers booking a Bangalore to Wayanad package trip during this season can visit Meenmutty Falls, Soochipara Falls, and plantation regions covered in mist and greenery. Rainfall may affect trekking activities and road travel timings across certain forest routes and hill sections. Resorts and plantation cottages also offer lower prices and seasonal discounts during monsoon months.

Off-Season / Summer Season (March to May)

Summer temperatures in Wayanad range between 20°C and 35°C because of the region’s elevated terrain and forest cover. This season suits travellers looking for lower accommodation rates and budget-friendly Wayanad trip packages from Bangalore. Wildlife sightings inside Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary increase near lakes and water sources during the summer months. Travellers planning a Bangalore to Wayanad trip can explore sightseeing attractions comfortably during mornings and evenings.

Places to Visit in Wayanad

Edakkal Caves

You can visit the famous Edakkal Caves located on Ambukutty Mala near Sulthan Bathery during your Wayanad trip from Bangalore.

You need to complete a steep trek through rocky forest trails before reaching the cave chambers positioned nearly 1,200 metres above sea level. From the viewpoint near the caves, you can also enjoy panoramic views of Wayanad’s valleys and the Western Ghats.

Soochipara Waterfalls
