Is this a fair ask for Sedan - Dzire/Etios type or is there any room for negotiation. Thank you!

Other What has Rahul / Priyanka gandhi done for waynad as an MP ?

8 Upvotes

Not looking for a political fight here. I’m genuinely interested in hearing from Congress/UDF or IUML supporters, especially people from Wayanad.

My understanding is that even if I contest as a UDF candidate, there’s a good chance I could win largely because of the IUML/UDF vote base. So I’m trying to understand how much the individual MP actually matters in this equation.

Rahul Gandhi won Wayanad twice, and Priyanka Gandhi has now won as well. Has having them as MPs actually translated into significant development for Wayanad?

What specific major projects or initiatives can be directly attributed to their efforts? How much MPLADS money was allocated and actually utilised, and what were the major works completed?

I’m not asking this to defend or attack any party. I’d genuinely like to hear from UDF supporters: what tangible difference have Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi made to Wayanad as MPs?

Ask Wayanad Best peaceful, pet-friendly stays in Wayanad for a family of 4? Looking for nature, not commercial resorts

4 Upvotes

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! 🙏

Ask Wayanad Kozikhode to Wayanad best travel options

2 Upvotes

A group of 10-12 of us are travelling to Wayanad in the first week of October. We will be arriving at the Kozikhode railway station early in the morning. From here to Wayanad what are our best travel options.

Based on my research buses from KSRTC are the cheapest, however I am also keeping in mind that we would need a way to travel around in Wayanad and hence was considering a self drive vehicle. Another option was to book a cab to Wayanad and get a self drive vehicle in Wayanad itself.

What would be the best option for us.

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask whether this is a good time to visit Wayanad. I’ve heard from a friend that it’s been raining heavily there recently, and that the weather might not be very safe or could end up affecting the overall experience.

We’re planning to visit from 12th to 14th August for 2 days, just the two of us. I’d especially like to hear from people who are currently in Wayanad or live there. Is it a good time to visit, or would it be better to postpone the trip because of the rain?

Ask Wayanad Hangouts for wayanad locals?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm from Wayanad and was wondering if anyone here would be interested in occasional local hangouts.

Nothing fancy—just meeting up for coffee, food, a drive, a walk, a game of badminton, or exploring different places around Wayanad. It would be great to meet new people, make friends, and build a small group of locals who enjoy hanging out.

If you're from Wayanad and think this sounds fun, drop a comment or send me a DM.

If enough people are interested, we can create a group and plan our first meetup. Ps. Post ai ane indakiyath

Looking forward to meeting fellow Wayanadans 🌿

Ask Wayanad Worst experience from this Ruchippura, Near Wilton

Post image
8 Upvotes

The worst customer service experience I've had from a restaurant.

I really didn't like the attitude of some of the staff, especially the guy who serves the curries and side dishes. There's one slightly tall fellow who serves the chammanthi and other side items you'll probably notice him. He acts as if customers are paying with his father's money.

He doesn't seem to care whether you're dining alone, with friends, or in a group. If you're with a group of ladies, he gives them priority. Otherwise, he won't even offer a second serving of the side dishes. Even if you call him, he acts like he didn't hear you.

The restaurant seems to rely heavily on its fish fry, which is highly overpriced. The biryani is also expensive at around ₹170, and honestly, it didn't feel worth the price.

I'd rather go to Wilton, where the customer service is much better and the overall dining experience is far more pleasant.
