Getting to Fern Glade Estate

Fern Glade Estate is near Cherakara Post in Tavinjal, outside Mananthavady. Guests receive the most useful final route guidance directly from the host, who can confirm the recommended approach based on current road and weather conditions.

Navigation apps are helpful for the main journey, but do not rely on an automated route for the final hill section without checking first. Coordinate your arrival time and keep the host’s phone number available.

The last stretch includes an uneven, sometimes muddy hill road that may require a confident driver. Conditions can change during the monsoon and after heavy rain. Daylight arrival is recommended, particularly for first-time visitors and groups travelling in more than one vehicle.

• Contact the host before beginning the final stretch
• Prefer a confident, experienced driver
• Allow extra time rather than rushing after dark
• Check the weather when travelling during the monsoon

Wayanad has no railway station of its own. Kozhikode is the principal rail connection commonly used for journeys into the district, while both Calicut International Airport and Kannur International Airport serve travellers heading to Wayanad. Road times vary considerably with the chosen route, traffic and hill conditions.

Arrange onward road transport before arrival and share your expected time with the host. For a group, one coordinated vehicle plan is usually simpler than several independent arrivals.
