WAYANAD — AT YOUR OWN PACE

Calicut Airport → ABAD Brookside

• Airport pickup
• Scenic drive to Wayanad
• Check-in at ABAD Brookside Lakkidi
• Lunch / rest
• Evening at the resort
• Brookside walk
• Tea & conversations
• Campfire, if weather permits

For those who want to step out:
Lakkidi View Point is just a short drive away. (Abad Hotels)

Overnight: ABAD Brookside

Morning:
Breakfast without rushing.

Then choose:

OPTION A — Explore

• Pookode Lake
• Short lakeside stroll / boating depending on comfort
• Local shopping

OPTION B — Stay back

• Enjoy the property
• Pool
• Indoor games
• Brookside walk
• Sit-out with coffee
• Read / chat / simply do nothing

Later everyone comes together for lunch and a relaxed evening.

Overnight: ABAD Brookside

Pookode Lake is around 6 km from the resort, making this an easy excursion rather than a full-day road trip. (Abad Hotels)

After breakfast:

En Ooru Tribal Heritage Village

This gives the group something genuinely different — tribal huts, local crafts, food and cultural experiences. It is also only around 7 km from ABAD Brookside, so you're not spending half the day travelling. (Abad Hotels)

Then return to the resort.

Afternoon = YOUR TIME.

No sightseeing compulsory.

Maybe:

☕ Coffee
🌿 Brookside
🎲 Games
🏊 Pool
📖 Quiet corner
😴 Afternoon nap

Evening: group dinner / campfire.

Overnight: ABAD Brookside

This should be your optional longer outing.

Option A — Heritage Day

• Wayanad Heritage Museum
• Edakkal Caves*
• Lunch
• Return to resort

Option B — Easy Day

• Lakkidi
• local market
• café / spice shopping
• back to ABAD by afternoon

*we would clearly mark Edakkal as optional because it involves more walking and steps and isn't something every senior traveller will want to do.

Wayanad Heritage Museum, Ambalavayal and Edakkal Caves give you a heritage component without making the entire trip about nature viewpoints.

Last evening at ABAD:
Slow dinner → music / campfire → conversations → maybe a little Paakhi group fun.

• Breakfast
• Sit by the brook
• Check-out
• Drive to Calicut
• Airport drop

No sightseeing squeezed in just because “we have time.”
