Embark on a thrilling trek to Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek starts from Meppadi, winding through lush tea plantations and dense forests. The trek is moderately difficult but the panoramic views of the heart-shaped lake halfway up and the entire Wayanad region from the top are worth the climb. Get an early start to avoid the mid-day heat. Afternoon visit to Edakkal Caves to explore the prehistoric rock engravings. Evening at Pookode Lake for a serene boat ride amidst nature.
Start your day with an early morning wildlife safari at the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary is home to several species of deer, elephants, tigers, and more. Afternoon bamboo rafting at Kuruva Island, an uninhabited island on the Kabini river. The peaceful rafting experience amidst the lush green forests and the sound of gushing water is a must-do. End your day at Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India, for a stunning sunset view.
Begin your day with an adrenaline-pumping experience at Soochipara Falls. The zipline across the falls provides a bird's eye view of the cascading waterfalls and lush green forests. Afternoon visit to the Wayanad Heritage Museum to learn about the history and culture of the region. End your day with a visit to the Kakkayam Dam and explore the nearby caves.
