The Edakkal Caves, located on Ambukuthy Mountain, are thought to have been inhabited during the Neolithic era. The caves' walls are adorned with ancient paintings and carvings, making it a fascinating location for history buffs and art enthusiasts alike. The trek to the caves is also a fantastic opportunity for nature lovers.
The Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary has a diverse range of flora and fauna and is a must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts. The sanctuary is home to Indian elephants, tigers, leopards, bears, and many other animals. Visitors can explore the sanctuary by jeep safari or trekking.
If you have more time, you can also visit the Banasura Sagar Dam, which is an hour away from the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. You could also explore Pakshipathalam Bird Sanctuary or take a trip to the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary. If you have less time, you can skip the trek to the Edakkal Caves and instead spend more time exploring the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary.
