Explore the ancient Hindu temple and the nearby Papanasini River which is believed to have holy waters. Follow that up with a scenic trek through Brahmagiri Hills.
Embark on a trek through dense forests of one of Wayanad's highest peaks, Chembra, in the morning. Spend the rest of the day meandering through tea gardens and sip on some freshly brewed tea.
Get up close with the elusive Indian elephant at the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Safari options are available for both morning and evening tours.
Take a boat ride around India's largest earthen dam, Banasura Sagar. Continue your adventure by witnessing the natural beauty at the thunderous Meenmutty Falls.
Witness the beauty of the Western Ghats from the Lakkidi viewpoint before heading to Soochipara, the hometown of many waterfalls. Make sure to take a dip in the pool below the falls.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to Edakkal Caves, the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, or the historic Jain temple, Sultan Bathery. If you have less time, consider cutting out either Banasura Dam or Meenmutty Falls, or combining the visit to Soochipara Falls with another nearby attraction. Don't forget to carry insect repellent and rain gear, since the weather in Wayanad can be unpredictable.
