What is the best time to visit Vythiri?

October to April (winter) is the best time to visit Vythiri, however, the pleasant climate makes Vythiri worth a visit throughout the year. Summer (April to June)  is the best off-season time to visit Vythiri. 
The off-season prices are a steal as well, with accommodation at luxurious resorts and homestays costing way lesser than seasonal prices. The hill station of Wayanad experiences 20 days of rainfall per month between July and September (monsoon) and Vythiri is no exception.  There is a risk of landslides as well, so speak to the local authorities before you plan a visit to Vythiri in the monsoon.

Vythiri in Monsoon (July - September)

The state of Kerala is the first in the country to experience the brunt of the southwest monsoon, which strikes at the end of June. The hill station of Wayanad experiences 20 days of rainfall per month between July and September and Vythiri is no exception. The rains give the entire region a green makeover, with verdant vegetation taking over every inch of forest land. The skies turn misty and cloudy, and temperatures drop between 28°C and 20°C. While this hampers visibility and sightseeing plans, Vythiri is indeed a sight to behold in the monsoon, looking ethereal and magical. This is not the best off-season time to visit Vythiri as the rain may play spoilsport and hinder plans. There is a risk of landslides as well, so speak to the local authorities before you plan a visit to Vythiri in the monsoon.
Vythiri has unique biodiversity that is characteristic of the Western Ghats. You can see the Malabar Giant Squirrel, the Malabar Grey Hornbill, the Yellow-browed Bulbul, the Nilgiri Langur, elephants, leopards and tropical butterflies in the adjoining forests. The monsoon is the best time to go birdwatching in Vythiri as you can hear the mating calls of these endemic birds, and hope to spot them too.
