Start your adventure at Pookode Lake, a natural freshwater lake surrounded by hills and forests. Go kayaking or paddle boating and enjoy the scenic views. Hike up to the nearby viewpoints for picturesque panoramic shots. Don't forget to check out the souvenir shops featuring local handicrafts and spices.
Get your hiking shoes ready for a trek up to the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The heart-shaped lake on the peak's summit has a serene and tranquil setting that mesmerizes visitors. The scenic trek is exhaustive but worth it. Don't forget to observe the panoramic view of the hilly ranges when you reach the top.
Wake up early for an excursion to the Kuruva Islands. A unique chain of islands surrounded by a dense forest and unique species of flora and fauna, the islands are located in the middle of the Kabini river. Go for a rejuvenating dip in the river streams or enjoy a long, peaceful boat ride with friends and family.
If you have more time, add a visit to the Edakkal Caves, known for its prehistoric carvings and scenic views of the Western Ghats. Alternatively, you can visit the Banasura Sagar Dam, known as the largest earthen dam in India, for water sports and breathtaking views. In case you have less time, skip Kuruva Islands and go for a shorter hike on Day 2 up to the Neelimala Viewpoint.
