    Start your day with a serene morning walk around the picturesque Pookode Lake. You can spot some beautiful birds and fish. Later in the afternoon, head to the nearby Chain Tree, a popular tourist spot. As the legend goes, a tribal youth named Karinthandan was killed by the British, and his spirit haunted the place. The chained tree marks the spot where he died. In the evening, head to the Jain Temple at Sulthan Bathery, a beautifully crafted temple that showcases intricate Jain architecture.

Afternoon is the perfect time to visit the Soochipara Falls, a picturesque waterfall with a pool at the bottom where you can take a dip. In the evening, head to Papanashini, a serene spot surrounded by lush green forests. It is believed that bathing in the water here would wash away all your sins.

  3. Day 3: Chembra Peak
    1 hour 20 minutes (22.5 km) from Kalpetta

The view from the peak is breathtaking, and it is the perfect spot for a picnic. In the afternoon, head to the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earth dam in India.
