Located just a stone’s throw away from Anhatha Retreat Villa, the Giant Swing Wayanad (at Wayanad Ultra Park/Meppadi Adventure Zone) is a must-visit for thrill-seekers. This world-class adventure park is famous for housing some of South India’s most daring activities, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Vellarimala mountain ranges.
Key Highlights
The Longest Zipline: Experience the sensation of flying! Glide across a massive 900-meter to 1.5-km stretch (depending on the specific course) that offers a bird’s-eye view of lush tea estates and mist-covered valleys.
Giant Swing: Test your courage on South India’s highest giant swing. Feel the weightless “pendulum drop” from a staggering height, swinging you out into the open canopy for a heart-stopping view.
Sky Cycle: Pedal through the air on a thin cable suspended high above the ground. It’s a unique blend of balance, bravery, and unparalleled scenery.
Bungee Jumping: For the ultimate bucket-list experience, the park also features professional-grade bungee jumping—the first of its kind in the region.
Proximity to Anhatha Retreat Villa
Distance: Approximately 1.5 km to 3 km (5–8 minutes by car).
Location: Conveniently situated on the Meppadi – Chooralmala Road, making it an easy morning trip before returning to the villa for a relaxing afternoon.
Guest Tip: We recommend wearing athletic shoes and comfortable clothing. The best time for photography is during the early morning or late afternoon when the “golden hour” light hits the tea gardens.
