About Kuruva Island
Kuruva Island, a cluster of more than 900 acres of untouched river islets in the Kabini River, is one of Wayanad’s most pristine natural wonders. Accessible only by bamboo rafts, it remains protected and silent — a sanctuary where nature speaks in whispers. The island is home to rare orchids, migratory birds, and butterfly species that color the air. The soft murmur of flowing water blends with the rustle of ancient trees, creating an atmosphere of calm discovery. Walking through its leafy trails feels like stepping into a secret garden untouched by time. Ideal for eco-travelers, photographers, and those seeking solitude, Kuruva Island is Kerala’s living poem — written in water, green, and golden light.
Best time to visit: October to March
