    1 hour (20.8 km) from Banasura Sagar Dam

    Edakkal Caves are two natural caves located 1200 meters above sea level with ancient petroglyphs (rock carvings) dating back to 6000 BC. The hike up to the caves is a bit steep but worth it for the stunning view of the valley from the top.

  5. 5:00 PM: Chembra Peak
    45 minutes (23.6 km) from Pookode Lake

    Chembra Peak is the highest peak in Wayanad and offers a panoramic view of the surroundings. The trek to the top takes around 3 hours, but the view from the top is worth the effort.

Recommendations

If you have more time, you can visit the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, Soochipara Falls, Thirunelli Temple or the Chain Tree. You can also plan a side trip to Mysore, which is around 120 km from Wayanad. To maximize your fun, try local delicacies like appam and stew, bamboo rice, and banana chips. Don't forget to carry comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a hat, as the weather in Wayanad can be unpredictable.
