My story.....
It was the Holi holiday ie 12th Mar 2017 , after Darshan at Guruvuyur Sri Krishna temple at Trissur we drove 172.4kms to kozikode, and after lunch head off for Wayanad , which is 85.8kms from Calicut by road....We were looking out for booking at Vythiri village resort but could not get ,....it's alway a rush at the Tree resort , .....instead we got Villa booking at Vythiri Meadows for 2 N stay at wayanad.
The drive off to Wayanad is picturesque. ...it's better to have a hired vehicle that gives lot of comfort for the travellers to give stopover at locations during the ghat climb. ....it was almost evening by the time we reach our resort at Vythiri; it started chilling too .....we just loved the weather ,the dense jungle across and the fresh air .....
