Brought to you by Tripper Trails, the most fun way to spend the weekend if you are based out of Bengaluru. Backpack your way through unexplored and offbeat places in South India. 

Be a part of our community and find your tribe while you travel and discover places that are off the map. 

The lush-green town of Wayanad in Kerala is hidden in the Malabar region on the Western Ghats. Sparsely populated, the forest-covered region abounds in picturesque hills meandering with streams, tea estates, and wildlife sanctuaries.

Referred to as the ‘Spice Garden of India’, Wayanad is a hub of spices such as cardamom, star anise, fenugreek, black pepper, black cumin, etc. Adding to its treasures are Asia’s second-largest and India’s largest dam, the Banasura Sagar Dam, and the Edakkal Caves from the Neolithic Age, to trek to. Witness a majestic sunset against the backdrop of the dam, go hiking, mountaineering, camping or rock climbing, you’ll never run out of fun activities at Wayanad.

Highlights:

1. Discover the offbeat places of South India while you get a welcoming break from your routine and the city. 

2. Meet people who match your vibe and find your tribe, forge new friendships and be a part of the most loved backpacking community. This is your chance to find a home in the city. 

3. We plan all the logistics, and all you have to do is come on the trip and have a great time! You never need to worry about the nuances of planning. 

4. Get to know the local communities, have local food and enjoy the cultural diversity that each place you visit brings. 

5. Backpack over the weekend with expert trip captains who will be there to guide you throughout the entire trip. 

6. Transportation is available throughout the trip, right from your pickup point in Bengaluru until you are dropped off at the end of your journey.
