Start your day early with a thrilling trek to the Chembra peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek takes around 3-4 hours and offers a stunning view of the heart-shaped Chembra Lake. After reaching the top, enjoy a packed lunch and relax for a while before heading back down. In the afternoon, visit the Kuruva Island, a river delta famous for its bamboo rafting and breathtaking scenery. In the evening, explore the Pookode Lake, a freshwater lake surrounded by lush greenery and take a relaxing boat ride before heading back to your hotel.
Start your day by visiting the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earth dam in India, surrounded by the Banasura hills. Take a speedboat ride or go trekking on the hills for a breathtaking view of the dam and the surrounding natural beauty. In the afternoon, visit the Edakkal Caves, an ancient site with stone carvings that dates back to the Neolithic era. After exploring the caves, visit the Soochipara Falls, a three-tiered waterfall that is perfect for trekking, rock climbing and swimming. End your day with a visit to the Thirunelli Temple, an ancient Hindu temple located in a serene valley surrounded by mountains.
If you have extra time, consider visiting the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected region famous for its population of tigers, elephants and leopards. You can also go on a cycling tour to explore the local villages and plantations. For a side trip, consider a visit to the nearby Bandipur National Park, a tiger reserve that is home to several endangered species. To maximize your fun, try local cuisines such as Malabar Biryani, Appam and Stew, and Puttu with Kadala Curry. We also recommend staying at a treehouse or homestay for a truly immersive experience.
