INTO AN ETHEREAL WORLD OF QUIETUDE!

This journey was one of the most ethereal one I ever had. The whole travel was dreamlike – glided along one after another with pleasant surprises, breath-taking sceneries, adventurous excitements, serene nature and at last to a relaxing abode called Vythiri Village resort. Before I tell you what this spectacular resort had in store for me, let me tell you how spellbound I was with the mesmerizing beauty of this lush green enchanting district – Wayanad.

I got to know that ‘Wayanad’ is originally derived from “VayalNaadu’ which translates into ‘the land of paddy fields’. This breath-taking beauty, Wayanad, is situated in the northeast of Kerala and has a historical evidence of New Stone Age civilization. The famous Edakkal caves at Wayanad unveils 6000-year-old rock engravings from the Neolithic age. The ghat road, from Vythiri to Thamarassery, which was constructed during the British rule is a real driving experience. The greenery-clad twists and turns on the road takes you to another era or is it a trip down a dreamy memory lane! You’ll find yourself so close to nature – I was heartfully amused by the hundreds of small monkeys pouncing about on both sides of the road uphill. For a travel-enthusiast like me, this trip was sensational due to the amazing locales, scenic destinations and a thrilling smooth drive to the resort I was traveling to. You wouldn’t want to close your eyes even for a minute, and surprisingly I was so refreshed when I reached Vythiri Village resort.
