Start your day with a visit to the Edakkal Caves, a group of natural caves that feature ancient petroglyphs dating back to the Neolithic era. The caves provide a stunning view of the surrounding greenery and the climb up to them is an adventurous activity. You can take a guided tour or explore the caves on your own. Afternoon, head to Pookode Lake, a freshwater lake surrounded by forests and hills. Take a boat ride or walk around the lake's perimeter to enjoy the scenery. In the evening, visit the Soochipara Falls, a three-tiered waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. You can take a dip in the pool or have a picnic by the falls.
On day 2, head to the Banasura Sagar Dam, one of the largest earthen dams in the world. Take a walk along the dam and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the clear blue waters of the dam. Afternoon, visit the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including elephants, tigers, and rare birds. Take a jungle safari or a nature walk to explore the sanctuary. Evening, visit the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad, and enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and forests.
Make sure to try the local cuisine such as Malabar biryani, fish curry, and appam. You can also visit the Thirunelli Temple, an ancient temple located in the Brahmagiri Hills. If you have time, take a day trip to the nearby town of Thiruvambady to visit the Thiruvambady Temple and the historic Pazhassi Raja Tomb.
