Afternoon can be spent trekking in the sanctuary where you can spot rare species of birds and butterflies. In the evening, take a guided nature walk and learn about the flora and fauna of the sanctuary.
Start your day early and head to the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek to the peak takes around 4-5 hours and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Afternoon can be spent relaxing by the Heart-shaped Lake, a picturesque lake located halfway to the peak. In the evening, head back to Wayanad and visit the Edakkal Caves, famous for their prehistoric rock art.
If you have more time, you can also consider visiting the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earth dam in India, and the Pookode Lake, a scenic freshwater lake surrounded by lush green forests. For thrill-seekers, there are options for river rafting in the Kabini River. To maximize your fun, try local Wayanad cuisine such as the spicy fish curry and appam. Don't forget to carry comfortable trekking shoes and warm clothing as Wayanad can get chilly in the evenings.
