Start your adventure by hiking up to the highest peak in Wayanad, the Chembra Peak. This strenuous trek will take around 3 hours but offers scenic views of tea plantations and the heart-shaped lake at the top. Once you reach the summit, take a few moments to catch your breath and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. If you're up for even more adventure, head to the nearby Phantom Rock and go ziplining across the valley.
Discover the prehistoric rock etchings at the Edakkal Caves. The trek up to the caves is steep, but it's worth the effort to see the ancient carvings and breathtaking views of the mountains. After a morning of exploring, head to the Soochipara Waterfalls for a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters surrounded by dense forests.
Immerse yourself in the wildlife of Wayanad by going on a jungle safari at the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary. This sanctuary is home to elephants, tigers, leopards, and various other species of flora and fauna. After the safari, experience the serene beauty by bamboo rafting in the Kabini River surrounded by lush green forests, chirping birds, and occasional wildlife sightings.
If you have extra time, visit the Thirunelli Temple, which is a beautiful ancient temple surrounded by hills and lush greenery. You can also explore the Wayanad Heritage Museum to learn more about the history and culture of the region.
If you're short on time, skip the bamboo rafting and opt for a relaxing day at the Pookode Lake or a visit to the Banasura Sagar Dam, which are both nearby and easily accessible.
