Calicut is the gateway to some of Kerala’s most underrated trekking terrain — misty highland trails, waterfalls, and forest routes far less crowded than the usual Munnar or Wayanad circuits. LetsGoForACamp organises small-group treks and trips in and around Calicut, ideal for first-timers, experienced trekkers, and anyone looking for a well-planned weekend getaway.
Kakkadampoyil backpacking trip — A scenic trekking route through the Western Ghats near Kakkadampoyil, known for its rolling hills, grasslands, and cool weather year-round. We also run a Women only edition of this trip during Onam season.
Janakikkadu one-day trip — A one-day trek through dense forest terrain close to Calicut city, well suited to beginners, families, and anyone short on time. Also available as a Women only batch.
Monsoon (June to September) is peak season for this region — waterfalls are at full flow and the hills turn green. Onam season (August to September) is especially popular, with dedicated Women only batches running most weekends.
Since 2015, LetsGoForACamp has organised 2,500+ treks and trips for 25,000+ travellers across Kerala and South India, with a strong focus on safe, well-planned Women only trips and small-group experiences with verified pickup points and transparent inclusions.
What’s the difference between a trek and a trip on this page?
A trek refers to the hiking or trail activity itself, while a trip is the full organised experience — transport, stay, meals, and the trek combined. All our Calicut listings include both.
Is the Kakkadampoyil trip suitable for beginners?
Yes — it’s a moderate-difficulty trek suitable for first-time trekkers with reasonable fitness.
Are Calicut treks and trips safe for women travelling solo?
Yes. We run dedicated Women only batches for both Kakkadampoyil and Janakikkadu, with an all-female group setup and verified pickup points.
What is the best time of year for a Calicut trek?
Monsoon season (June to September) is ideal, with the Onam period (August to September) being the most popular time to book.
