Start your honeymoon adventure with a visit to Edakkal Caves, an iconic prehistoric rock shelter. Witness the ancient rock carvings, which date back to over 6,000 years ago, telling stories of the early humans and their lifestyles. To reach the caves, you need to trek a steep slope amid the scenic Ambukuthi Hills. It's a 1.5 km trek, and the view from the top is breathtaking. Don't forget to carry water bottles and wear comfortable hiking shoes.
Couples looking for panoramic views will adore the Chembra Peak trek. It involves climbing a heart-shaped lake in the middle of the mountain that locals believe never dries up. After that, you'll trek around the rugged landscapes to the peak, which provides breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys. You must also clear the forest entry checkpost, and we recommend starting the trek early morning to avoid the afternoon sun.
If you have more time, we recommend adding a visit to the soothing Meenmutty Falls. If you have an additional day, go for a wildlife safari at the Muthanga Wildlife sanctuary for a chance to spot Asian elephants and other rare species. If you have less time, we suggest skipping the Edakkal Caves and instead, explore the Pookode Lake, a serene lake surrounded by lush green ambience.
