As the city lights of Bengaluru fade behind you, the road to North Malabar opens up ahead — winding through misty highways and sleepy towns. This overnight journey marks the beginning of a monsoon-soaked escape into the unexplored heart of Kerala. Catch up on some rest, get to know your fellow travellers, and let the sound of rain on the bus windows ease you into the adventure.

You’ll reach the vibrant town of Cherupuzha by early morning. After a warm welcome from the team, we head to our locally hosted stay — a simple but soulful space nestled in nature. Post check-in, the day kicks off with a traditional Kerala breakfast to energise you for what lies ahead.
Our first stop is a charming hanging bridge suspended over a calm river, followed by a visit to a peaceful riverside temple. A gentle start, but the pace picks up soon. We head to a nearby farm where you’ll get to explore local crops and get a glimpse of rural life at its purest. Then comes the real splash — you’ll have the option to kayak or go river rafting on the Thejaswani River, depending on the water level and your mood for adventure.
By early afternoon, we regroup for a wholesome local lunch, after which we set off toward the forested hills of Tabor. The ride itself is scenic, with lush green slopes and foggy turns. Along the way, we’ll stop for a stream dip — monsoon-fed and refreshingly wild. From here, we begin a short nature walk leading up to the serene Cloud Nest. If the skies are clear, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the Thalakaveri hills from the top.
As the sun begins its descent, we settle in for some hot tea and snacks, taking in a panoramic view of the valley below. We return to our stay by evening, where a warm dinner awaits, featuring local dishes and optional homemade wine.

Wake up to the sounds of monsoon-drenched mornings and the smell of fresh breakfast. After a relaxed start, we head out to explore the ancient Odakkolly Caves — natural rock formations hidden deep in the wilderness, carrying tales as old as time. With curious shapes and tight corners, the caves offer just the right amount of thrill and mystery to start your day.
As we drive further, the landscape shifts from rugged rock to flowing waters, and we make our way to Meenthully Waterfalls. Tucked away in the forest, this seasonal beauty is the perfect finale to our journey — a place to sit, reflect, splash around, or simply enjoy nature’s music.
After a final meal en route, we begin our journey back, carrying with us stories of rivers crossed, trails walked, and a deeper connection with the untamed side of Malabar. Expect to reach Bengaluru by early morning the next day, tired but full of monsoon magic.
