When it rains in wayanad:
There’s a hush that descends upon Wayanad when the first drops fall. It’s not mere rain—it’s poetry from the heavens, washing every leaf, awakening forgotten springs, and wrapping the Western Ghats in a shawl of silvery mist. If you’ve only seen Wayanad in the dry seasons, dear traveller, you’ve only sipped half its soul.
So come closer. Let us take you by the hand and show you the seven magical happenings that come alive only during Wayanad’s monsoon.
1. Waterfalls Wake Up Roaring
When the monsoon clouds burst, Wayanad’s hidden cascades leap into life. Meenmutty, Soochipara, and Kanthanpara waterfalls turn into majestic silver torrents. The surrounding forests echo with their thunder, mingled with birdsong and wind whispers.
