A serene and beautiful lake surrounded by misty hills, Karalad Lake is perfect to start your day with a picnic breakfast. You can rent a paddle boat or a bamboo raft and go for a picturesque ride on the lake. Don't forget to carry your camera to capture the amazing views.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at The Bungalow Restaurant. Set in a colonial-style bungalow, the restaurant serves a variety of dishes, including local delicacies like Malabar biryani, fish curry, and Thalassery biryani. Make sure to try their homemade desserts.
Explore the ancient Edakkal Caves, situated on top of Ambukuthi hill. These caves have carvings and inscriptions that date back to the Stone Age. It's a steep climb to the top, but the view from the caves is breathtaking. You can also stop at the nearby coffee plantation for some fresh coffee.
If you have more time, you can visit Chembra Peak, Soochipara Falls, or the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. If you have less time, consider skipping the Edakkal Caves and visiting Pookot Lake or Banasura Sagar Dam instead.
