There are specifi timings for Forest entry. I suggest you can check the timings on your way to Vythiri (before you checkin). Passes are issued twice a day 6am and 2 pm. But please do check the timing. When you buy your entry pass, you will get to book your Jeep and Forest guide. You dont have much of a choice there. They operate a queue and whoever is alloted you simply have to go with them. Waynad is not a great place for wildlife / safari. The jeep travels on a 8-9 Km road thru the forest, and you simply have to watch whatever pops up on your route. If you are a wildlife lover, then other forests along the Nilgiri ranges are much better, and well organized.

I think its open during October. Jeep is not required as the noise will scare birds and other wildlife. During my visit I found many student groups but they only contributed to noise and was more busy shooting selfies than try and locate birds. Its a good place for a walk and observing nature provided you maintain absolute silence.

It is open in August and would be lush after the monsoons. But in Wayanad, you can see the animals in the road itself...
