Our family, along with four other families, was planning a trip to a hill station from a long time. We chose Wayanad in Kerala<\/a> since we have heard so much about its scenic beauty. Along with Wayanad, a visit to Mysore was also planned.<\/p>\n So finally the D-day arrived and all of us boarded Shatabdi express to Mysore. Time flew so quickly that we seemed to reach Mysore in less than an hour. Magnificent Mysore enthralled us with its palace, zoo and gardens. All of us enjoyed special Karnataka cuisine and the pleasant weather of Mysore.\u00a0 Kids had a fantastic time outdoors and even indoors, thanks to the hotel\u2019s swimming pool.<\/p>\n After spending two days, we left for Wayanad, in a mini-van. The journey itself was spell bounding, with dense forests and we had an opportunity to see some elephants and even wild bears.<\/p>\n Wayanad is a beautiful place with abundant tea estates.\u00a0 So one can see several tea plantations around and have a glimpse of workers picking tea leaves. Finally, we arrived to the resort.\u00a0 The very first glance of the resort was breathtaking. \u00a0From our room, if we open the windows we could see a bubbly stream flowing on one side and vast tea estates on the other side.\u00a0 Of course, the first outing was to the famous Meenmutty falls. \u00a0\u00a0Even though, the path to the falls is a tough trekking trail, our children were eager for the trekking expedition.\u00a0 The falls are truly amazing.\u00a0 As we approached the falls, we could feel cool water being sprayed, even from a distance.\u00a0 Next day, we visited Pookat lake, where we opted for a speed boat ride. Overall, we were able to cover many other places like Sunrise valley, Muthanga wild life sanctuary etc.<\/p>\n Cool climate, misty mornings, nice scenic surroundings, thick forests, scent of spices, trekking trails, Wayanad has it all. We cherish the moments spent there. The trip gave us a lot of joy and totally rejuvenated us.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0This moment was shared by\u00a0Mr. Imtiaz Mohammed\u00a0 in Sterling Holidays OMG!
