Wayanad is one of the most popular hill destinations in Kerala for tent camping.It brings together the woods, valleys covered with mist, and the fresh weather of the highlands that make staying outdoors really comfortable. The feeling you get from camping here is a combination of the two states of adventure and quiet, one moment you are watching the fog settling on a verdant slope, and the next you are sitting under a sky that looks wider because there are fewer city lights. It is suitable for friends, families, and group travellers, particularly when the weather is good, and the nights are tranquil.
