"Accent on on-site activities is justifiable; surrounding attractions outside the property, while famous, are incredibly crowded and congested."

Location
Nestled in the rainforests of Lakkidi, Wayanad Wild is accessed via 3.5 km of off-road driving, ensuring a secluded escape at an altitude of 2,900 feet. The hotel is surrounded by majestic landscapes, gurgling streams, and diverse wildlife, making it integral to the Western Ghats' biodiversity. It is conveniently located within three hours of Calicut International Airport, placing guests close to nature.
Rooms
The hotel offers spacious accommodations with balconies that provide stunning views of the forest canopy. Each room is designed with salvaged ship-wood and bamboo accents and tailored to blend seamlessly with the natural environment. Air conditioning is unnecessary at this elevation, where cooler temperatures prevail year-round.
Experiences
Wayanad Wild facilitates guided tours with naturalists, allowing guests to explore local flora and fauna. Unique experiences include night expeditions to discover nocturnal creatures and child-friendly activities like creek exploration for curious minds. Outdoor activities such as trekking, zip-lining, and bamboo rafting are also available on request.
Dining
Meals focus on local produce, with offerings such as fresh Kingfish and traditional bamboo rice served in the restaurant with a stunning forest view. The culinary team emphasizes a blend of innovation and wholesomeness in their dishes. Guests can also learn regional cooking techniques during evening cookery classes hosted at the hotel.
Family-Friendly
Designed with families in mind, the hotel provides hands-on activities such as interactive cooking classes for children aged 8 to 15. Opportunities for bird watching cater to enthusiasts of all ages, offering insights into the diverse avian life around the property. Evening programs further engage younger guests with indoor games and exploration activities.

“Wayanad Wild understands its strengths: while the region's touted attractions suffer from crowds, the hotel's curated on-site experiences-guided nature tours, Kerala cooking classes, even birdwatching for rare species-feel truly special. The commitment to eco-friendly luxury in this rainforest setting, alongside family-focused amenities, is commendable. It's a place to switch off the A/C (not needed in this mountain climate) and tune into birdsong instead.”
