    Start your day with a ride to Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected forest area that is home to a variety of wildlife including elephants, tigers, leopards, and deer. You can take a guided jeep safari through the dense forest to spot these animals in their natural habitat. After the safari, you can stop by the tribal village inside the sanctuary to learn about their unique culture and way of life. In the afternoon, ride to the nearby Edakkal Caves, a prehistoric site with ancient rock engravings that date back to the Neolithic era. The climb to the caves is a bit steep but the view from the top is worth it. Finish your day with a visit to the nearby Karapuzha Dam, a picturesque location to watch the sunset.
