Offbeat Wayanad - 3-day travel plan by Navigotoo with Praburam, The Navigotoo Guy

Hey traveller!

As an adventurer by heart, I always explore offbeat places. But when I wanted to take my 1-year-old on a trip, priorities changed and we started planning a trail that's not only offbeat, but also very safe.

I chose the wayanad region. Spent 8+ hours, spoke to 15+ resorts/hospitalities and after meticulous planning, I charted out this trail and self-experienced it in April 2023. My loved ones loved it!

I've put together the same itinerary in a snackable format, with a few alternate options that we considered. The stays are luxurious, premium. I've added hyperlinks to all the places visited and a one-click-map route with the entire trail.

Itinerary starts and ends at Kozhikode.

The value you get:

• Get to know 8 unique hospitalities in and around wayanad. We've featured two - one forest stay with a private pool and one experiential stay that's unique and new. Both of them are offbeat, not crowded and has a max occupancy of 16 people in the entire property (~2 acres) with friendly staff.
• Self-experienced itinerary
• Rs.1000 off when you book one of the featured stays on weekdays. I pass on my B2B/affiliate commission as discounts to the itinerary buyers.
• 4 instagram worthy cafe/restaurants in the region.
• You can save 2-3 hours (atleast) in planning your getaway!

Cost for the trip as per itinerary:

• Forest stay 1 - Rs.6000 - Rs.10,000
• Experiential stay 2- Rs. 7000 - Rs.9000
• Self drive car - Rs. 4500 for rent, Rs. 2000 for fuel
• Cab - Rs. 9500 - Rs.11000 for 3 days
• Cafe and restaurant suggestions - Rs.600 to Rs.1000 for two people

While I have given cheaper alternative stay options, the trail is best experienced with the featured stays.

Ideal cost would be Rs. 25000 for two people, for three days including stay, travel from kozhikode, food, activities etc.

This is for people who:

• are busy and finding it difficult to plan a trip
• like to stay away from the hustle-bustle, somewhere close to nature
• are looking for a honeymoon/family/ romantic/photoshoot getaway in wayanad region.

This is not for groups, party seekers, 'tick-all-places' travellers, fomo travellers and mainly, people who don't like planning their travel.

PS: I have purposefully not included popular tourist spots like Chembra peak, Wayanad lake, Dams etc as a part of this itinerary.

Here's a preview of the itinerary to know what you get.

When you buy this, you'll not become a customer. You'll become my supporter. And it means a lot to me!

Cheers,

Praburam

The Navigotoo guy!

PS: All proceedings from this will be re-invested in travel, in helping locals, towards eco-friendly initiatives and in creating more itineraries like this!
