Kuruvadweep

Kuruvadweep or Kuruva Island is one of the major tourist spots in Wayanad. This nature’s gift is a river delta spread across 950 acres on the banks of the tributaries of the Kabini River. Three densely wooded island combines along with few submerged satellite islands to form Kuruvadweep. With complete silence and a chilly climate, this place is a heaven on earth. As it is not disturbed by city life this place is home to a variety of rare kinds of flora and fauna, it has few endemic species of medicinal plants, orchids, birds, etc.
One can plan a visit to Kuruvadweep from mid-December to late April. During monsoon, the water level rises very dangerously, and thus it is not suited to plan a trip. As it is a protected area one will have to take prior permission from the Forest department of Kerala on planning to visit Kuruvadweep.
