Tour Overview

This 6 Days Wayanad, Kannur and Kozhikode Tour is designed for travellers who want to explore North Kerala beyond the usual South Kerala circuit. The journey starts in Kozhikode, moves into the green highlands of Wayanad, continues to the coastal heritage of Kannur, and finishes again in Kozhikode.

The itinerary targets searches such as Wayanad Kannur Kozhikode tour, North Kerala itinerary, and Kerala nature and heritage tour. It combines Wayanad's waterfalls, reservoirs and forest landscapes with Kannur's forts and beaches, while Kozhikode adds Malabar food, maritime history and coastal culture.

This route is especially suitable for repeat Kerala visitors, culture-focused travellers and families who want a quieter alternative to the classic Munnar-Thekkady-Alleppey circuit. The itinerary also works well because it moves logically from coast to hills and back to the coast.

Wayanad sightseeing should be grouped geographically because the district is large and attractions are spread across different zones. Waterfalls and forest experiences also depend on season, rainfall, access and current safety conditions.

Kannur is valuable for its combination of fort heritage, beaches and living cultural traditions. If a Theyyam performance is considered, it should only be included when there is a genuine scheduled ritual event during the travel period. It should not be presented as a guaranteed daily attraction.

Travellers with more time can continue north to Bekal or extend through Kasaragod. Browse more Kerala tour packages for longer North Kerala routes.

Tour Highlights:

  • Travel from Kozhikode into the green hills of Wayanad.
  • Explore waterfalls, reservoirs and plantation scenery.
  • Discover Wayanad's heritage and nature attractions.
  • Visit Kannur's historic St. Angelo Fort.
  • Spend time along Kannur's distinctive coastline.
  • Experience Malabar culture and cuisine in Kozhikode.
  • Follow a varied North Kerala hills-and-coast itinerary.

Detailed Itinerary

Arrive in Kozhikode and meet your driver for the journey to Wayanad. The route gradually climbs from the Malabar coast into the Western Ghats.

As you gain elevation, the landscape changes to greener hill roads, plantations, forest patches and valley views. Keep the journey comfortable with short stops where practical.

On arrival in Wayanad, check in at your hotel or nature resort and take time to rest. Because Wayanad is spread over a large area, hotel location can affect the efficiency of the following sightseeing days.

If daylight remains, enjoy a short walk or nearby scenic point rather than attempting a long excursion after arrival.

Overnight stay in Wayanad.

Kozhikode to Wayanad North Kerala hill journey

After breakfast, spend the day exploring the heritage and natural attractions of Wayanad.

If you are comfortable with climbing and uneven terrain, include Edakkal Caves subject to current opening and access conditions. The ascent can be physically demanding, so it should not be treated as suitable for everyone.

Later, visit Soochipara Falls or another suitable seasonal waterfall where access is open and trail conditions are safe.

Waterfall volume changes significantly through the year, and heavy rainfall can make paths slippery or temporarily unsuitable. Local safety guidance should always take priority.

Return to your hotel after a geographically sensible circuit rather than crossing the district repeatedly.

Overnight stay in Wayanad.

Wayanad heritage and waterfall sightseeing

Begin the morning with a visit to Banasura Sagar, known for reservoir scenery and the surrounding hills.

Spend time at the publicly accessible viewpoints and enjoy the landscape. Optional activities around the reservoir depend on weather, local operations and safety conditions.

Later, check out and continue towards Kannur. The route gradually leaves Wayanad's highlands and returns towards the Malabar coast.

On arrival, check in at your hotel and keep the evening relaxed. If time permits, enjoy a short coastal walk or local market visit.

Overnight stay in Kannur.

After breakfast, spend the day exploring Kannur, combining fort heritage, coastline and local cultural context.

Visit St. Angelo Fort, subject to opening conditions. Its coastal setting and fortifications provide a useful introduction to Kannur's maritime history.

Continue to a suitable beach area such as Muzhappilangad Beach depending on current access, weather and local regulations.

Beach driving, where locally permitted, should never be assumed to be available every day. Tide, sand conditions, official rules and safety restrictions can affect access.

If your travel dates coincide with a genuine scheduled Theyyam ritual, it can be considered as an additional cultural experience. It should not be promised as a daily staged performance.

Overnight stay in Kannur.

Kannur St Angelo Fort and beach tour

After breakfast, check out from Kannur and drive south to Kozhikode.

On arrival, begin a relaxed introduction to the city's Malabar heritage. Depending on your interests, include the old trading areas, selected heritage streets, local markets or waterfront spaces.

Kozhikode is also one of Kerala's most interesting food cities. Use the afternoon to explore Malabar cuisine through reputable local restaurants or food stops rather than treating the city only as a transfer point.

If time permits, include Beypore for its traditional boat-building heritage where visitor access is available, or a coastal stop at Kappad depending on the day's routing.

Overnight stay in Kozhikode.

Kannur to Kozhikode Malabar heritage tour

After breakfast, check out from your Kozhikode hotel. Your final transfer will be arranged according to the timing of your onward flight or train.

If your departure is later in the day, use the morning for a short nearby market, local food stop or additional city time rather than a long excursion.

At the appropriate time, transfer to the airport or railway station for your onward journey.

Your 6 Days Wayanad, Kannur and Kozhikode Tour concludes after combining Wayanad's hills and waterfalls, Kannur's fort and beaches, and Kozhikode's Malabar culture and maritime heritage.

Tour concludes in Kozhikode.
