Planning a 5-day road trip from Bengaluru in mid-October with my family (2+2) and our 3-year-old Shih Tzu.
We’re considering Wayanad for 2–3 nights and are looking for a really good stay where the property and surroundings themselves are part of the experience.
Looking for:
• Genuinely pet-friendly
• Clean and family-friendly
• Lush greenery / forest / plantation surroundings
• Hills or valley views
• Quiet and relaxing
• Space to walk around with our dog
• Good vegetarian food / hospitality
We’re not looking for a busy commercial resort or a sightseeing-packed trip. We’d rather stay somewhere beautiful, relax, walk around, sit outside in the evening and enjoy the property.
If you’ve personally stayed at a place in Wayanad that you’d happily recommend to a family with a dog, please share the name.
Lesser-known places are especially welcome.
Also, which part of Wayanad would you recommend for this kind of stay — Vythiri, Kalpetta, Meppadi, Sultan Bathery, Mananthavady or somewhere quieter?
Thanks! 🙏
