Wayanad
VerifiedBrahmagiri FIB — Thirunelli
The Brahmagiri Forest Inspection Bungalow near Thirunelli is one of the most atmospheric forest stays in Wayanad — set at the foot of the Brahmagiri Hills with the ancient Thirunelli Temple a short walk away. The bungalow is the dedicated base for both the Brahmagiri Hills trek and the adventurous Pakshipathalam trail. The Forest Department guide office for both treks is nearby. Early morning forest mist, temple bells, and birdsong create an unforgettable atmosphere. Elephant, Nilgiri Langur, and gaur regularly pass through the area. This stay combines spiritual, cultural, and ecological experiences like nowhere else in Kerala.
