Pookode Lake is a serene freshwater lake surrounded by lush greenery and hills. Take a paddleboat ride, feed fish, or go for a nature walk. Spend some peaceful time surrounded by nature. Avoid visiting on weekends as the place gets crowded.
Located in the Ambukuthi Hills, Edakkal Caves are a set of ancient caves with carvings and inscriptions dating back to the Neolithic era. A steep trek uphill leads you to the caves, offering scenic views of the surrounding hills. Avoid visiting during monsoon season.
Visit Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary to spot elephants, tigers, leopards, and other wildlife. Take a jungle safari or trek through the forest. The sanctuary also has a variety of flora and fauna. The best time to visit is from October to February.
If you have more time, add a visit to Chembra Peak, Banasura Sagar Dam, and Thirunelli Temple. For those with less time, skip Edakkal Caves and spend more time at Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Carry a hat, sunscreen, and water during the day as it can get hot. Wear comfortable shoes for trekking. Avoid visiting during monsoon season as many of the attractions may be closed.
