Why Monsoon Might Be the Best Season in Wayanad
By Seagot Banasura · 5 June 2026
A defence of the Wayanad monsoon — softer light, quieter estates, better food and a lake that finally shows its full self.
The tourist calendar tells you to visit Wayanad in winter. We think the monsoon is the season that best rewards a slow traveller.
The lake at Banasura Sagar fills to its brim, the tea and coffee estates glow, and the resort empties enough that you feel like you own it.
Yes, some outdoor activities pause during heavy showers — but sit with a hot filter coffee on your balcony as the rain rolls in, and you'll understand why some of our guests only visit in July.
