Explore the ancient Edakkal Caves known for their unique stone carvings and prehistoric rock art. The 1.5-kilometer trek to reach the caves is quite steep, but the stunning panoramic view of the surroundings makes it worth the effort.
Get ready for a challenging hike up to Chembra Peak that stands at an elevation of 6,890 ft above sea level. The trek takes you through lush green grasslands, the heart-shaped Hridaya Saras and culminates at the peak with stunning aerial views of the entire district.
Take a break from the trekking and paddle through the serene Karapuzha reservoir. Rent a kayak and witness the picturesque landscapes with covered mountains, lush green valleys and the sounds of the water waves.
End the trip with a visit to the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India. Enjoy water sports, speed boat rides, zip-lining or just leisurely hike up to the adjacent viewpoint for scenic panoramas. Don't forget to capture the moments for a lifetime of memories.
If you have extra time, add a visit to the Kuruva Island or the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary to encounter wildlife in their natural habitat. For an adrenaline rush, adventure sports like ziplining, mountain biking, and rock climbing are also available in different parts of Wayanad. Conversely, if you are short on time, skip the Karapuzha dam kayaking and opt for a trek to Thusharagiri Waterfalls to experience the scenic beauty of the location.
