Explore the ancient stone carvings and mysterious symbols at the Edakkal Caves, located on a hill that offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The trek to the caves is slightly challenging, but the experience of going back in time is definitely worth it.
Get up close and personal with elephants, tigers, deer, and other wild animals at the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary. Take a jeep safari through the jungle with a knowledgeable guide who can point out the different species of wildlife and their habitats.
Spend a day exploring two of the most beautiful National Parks in the region, Bandipur and Mudumalai. Go on a guided jungle safari to see tigers, leopards, and other rare and elusive animals. Take a stroll through the forests and enjoy the flora and fauna of the area.
If you have more time, you could explore more of Wayanad, such as the Pookode Lake or the Banasura Sagar Dam. If you have less time, you could skip the Mudumalai National Park and just visit Bandipur National Park. Note that some of the attractions may be closed on public holidays, so check ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
