Spend the evening at Kuruva Island, surrounded by the Kabini river. This uninhabited, beautiful Island has many activities to offer. Hire a bamboo raft and enjoy a boat ride, take a dip in the river, or simply relax and explore the flora and fauna of the island.
Get adventurous at the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earth dam in India. The dam offers a variety of water sports, such as kayaking, speed boating, and banana boat rides. The water constantly changes color, making it a picturesque spot for trekkers and nature lovers.
Spend the evening exploring the scenic Kurumbalakotta, surrounded by lush green forests and coffee plantations. The top of the hill provides a breathtaking view of the valley, and the mesmerizing sunset adds to the charm of the place.

If you have more time, add a visit to Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary to your itinerary, which is home to a wide range of flora and fauna.
