Thanks for sharing the information about Kuruva Islands. Your tips were helpful during my visit to the island. It was indeed a great experience to spend sometime in the wilderness and at the same time enjoy the beauty of the river. But I was a little bit unprepared since I didn’t know this is a true wild experience. I didn’t carry any food expecting some restaurants there but only after reaching there I realized this is a place to enjoy the natural beauty with no urbanization and no business. Thanks to all the nature activists, this place is still kept as natural as possible. Rafting through the river is an unforgettable experience. I have shared some of my experience here –
Those who love nature, don’t miss this place. Keep aside a few hours for Kuruva island during your next visit to Wayanad. You won’t feel bored even if you spend an entire day here.
Please note that this place is closed for visitors during monsoon. So check before you go to avoid disappointment. Usually DTPC announces ahead of time about closing the islands for visitors when the monsoon starts.
hi,
whether we can stay in the kuruva island in night
Mugilan,
There is no facility for overnight stay in the island. It is a typical forest area along the shore of the river. Access is restricted. However, there are few resorts and hotels just before you enter the island area, which would be a safe place to stay.
timing is changed now only up to 3.30 pm
Very good place to visit, but In monsoon season we can’t able to enter inside. Full of water inside the areas. Every year I visited wayanad especially in kuruva dweep. Somany visitors visiting every day. I enjoyed a lot from here. Nice place ….
