Visit Pookode Lake, a scenic freshwater lake surrounded by forests and hills. You can rent a paddleboat to explore the lake or walk around the perimeter on the nature trail. There are also options for zip lining and rock climbing nearby.

If you have more time, you can visit other popular tourist spots like Banasura Sagar Dam or Soochipara Falls. If you have less time, you can opt to only visit Edakkal Caves or Pookode Lake.
