Date: 23rd October 2025
Route: Ooty → Wayanad (Approx. 110 km)
Our last morning in Ooty began with a cool breeze, mist over the hills, and a sense of excitement for the next leg of our adventure — Wayanad, Kerala’s hidden paradise.
🌲 Morning Drive & Pine Forest Magic
After breakfast, we checked out of our cozy villa and began our descent from Ooty. The first stop of the day was the Pine Forest, one of Ooty’s most scenic photo points. Surrounded by tall pine trees, sloping paths, and filtered sunlight breaking through the mist — it was a perfect spot for some beautiful family photos and candid moments. 📸
We continued our journey through the winding roads — the downhill drive from Ooty and the uphill climb towards Wayanad offered mesmerizing views from the car windows. Every turn revealed something new — waterfalls, valleys, and endless greenery. It was a drive to remember!
🍛 A Taste of Tamil Nadu
On the way, we stopped for lunch at a small local eatery and enjoyed a traditional Tamil meal served on banana leaves. Fresh rice, spicy curries, crunchy papad, and sweet payasam — simple yet soul-satisfying. It was an amazing cultural and culinary experience.
🌄 Arrival at Spacerock Resort, Wayanad
By afternoon, we reached our stay — Spacerock Resort near Kalpetta, Wayanad. The resort truly lived up to its name — built amidst natural rocks and dense jungle, it blended beautifully with nature. What made it even more special were the treehouses constructed without cutting down trees — giving a true “back to nature” feeling. 🌳
🏊♂️ Fun & Relaxation
After check-in, we spent the afternoon swimming and playing with the kids in the resort pool. The water felt cool and refreshing, surrounded by the sounds of birds and rustling leaves.
🌌 Evening in the Wild
As evening set in, we explored the resort’s walking trails, soaking in the raw beauty of the forest and watching the sunset behind the hills. The peace and natural sounds made it an unforgettable experience.
After a hearty dinner, we all gathered in our rooms for late-night chitchats, laughter, and storytelling — ending the day with joy and togetherness under the starry Wayanad sky. 🌙✨
