Visit the Edakkal Caves, a historically significant site featuring ancient rock carvings. Take a scenic drive to the Pookode Lake for a peaceful boat ride and picnic with the family. Later, head to the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek up the hill presents stunning views of the area around it. End your day with a visit to the Thirunelli Temple, a must-see for architecture and nature lovers.
Begin your day at the Alleppey Beach, a great place to soak up the sun, swim, and relax. Take a scenic boat ride through the Alleppey Backwaters, often referred to as the Venice of the East. Next, visit the Mullakkal Rajeshwari Temple to admire the unique architectural style and learn about the Mythology behind it. Before you leave, make sure to pamper yourself with a traditional Ayurvedic massage to end the day on a high note.
Begin your day by visiting the Janardanaswami Temple, a prominent temple with a stunning view of the Arabian Sea. Next, visit the Varkala Beach, a serene spot to relax and unwind. Drive to the enchanting Sivagiri Mutt, a pilgrimage center honoring the great social reformer and sage Sree Narayana Guru. Spend your evening watching the sun set from the Varkala Cliff, known to offer one of the most scenic sunset views in the world.
If you have more time, Wayanad’s Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary and Aleppey’s Krishnapuram Palace could be great additions to your itinerary. Alternatively, you could consider extending your stay in Varkala to relax and enjoy the beach more. If you have less time and want to get the essence of each location, we recommend compromising on visiting fewer temples or cutting the boat ride through the backwaters.
