Explore the pre-historic Edakkal caves formed naturally out of boulders. The rocks have carvings and inscriptions from the Indus Valley Civilisation depicting animals, humans, and cultural elements. Expect a moderate trek to reach this historical site.
Get your trekking shoes on and head towards the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad at an altitude of 2,100 meters. Trek to the heart-shaped lake which makes the view from the peak rare and remarkable. This trek would take about five hours in total.
Visit the second-largest earth dam in Asia, Banasura Sagar Dam. The dam forms a part of the Banasura Sagar Project started with the aim of supporting the Kakkayam Hydroelectric Power project. Take a boat ride around the dam and soak in the beauty of the surrounding lush green hills.
If you have an extra day, visit Soochipara Falls, a three-tiered waterfall that can be reached after a short trek. But, if you have limited time, skip Chembra Peak trek and visit Pookode Lake instead, a beautiful freshwater lake known for its serene ambiance. You can go for a boat ride or enjoy the natural beauty of the place by just strolling around its circumference.
