Indulge in luxury and comfort at Vythiri Mist

Why Wayanad is a Haven for Birdwatchers

Wayanad lies in the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world’s eight “hottest hotspots” of biodiversity. The region is home to over 300 species of birds, including many endangered species. From the rhythmic call of the Malabar Whistling Thrush to the laughter-like cry of the Malabar Grey Hornbill, this landscape keeps birdwatchers hooked year-round.

Birdwatching at Vythiri Mist Resort

A Jungle Resort Designed for Nature Lovers

Set at 3000 ft above sea level in the Poonchola Hills, Vythiri Mist Resort is more than a luxury stay. It’s a premium and unique jungle resort in Kerala where nature flows through every space. Guests often spot hornbills, owls, drongos, woodpeckers, and flycatchers right from their balconies.

Trails That Tell Stories

The resort has exclusive nature trails weaving through rainforest, coffee and cardamom plantations, and bubbling streams. These trails aren’t just pathways; they are birdwatching corridors. With patience, you may find the Malabar Trogon, a prized sighting for bird photographers.

Guided Walks and Nature Experiences

For those who want to deepen their experience, the team at Vythiri Mist arranges guided nature walks and birdwatching sessions, helping you identify both the common and the rare. These walks also introduce guests to the forest’s other wonders, butterflies, small mammals, and ancient trees.
