Next stop is Pookode Lake, a serene freshwater lake amidst the evergreen forests. Rent a paddle boat or take a short trek around the lake for a gorgeous view of the hills and the lake. The lush green surroundings and the fresh air is a calming experience.
Relish the authentic Wayanadan cuisine at Clayhut A Village Restaurant amidst the scenic beauty of the rural setup. The Bamboo Rice, Meen Curry, Beef Fry, and Chicken Curry are a must-try. The traditional serving on fresh banana leaves is a treat to the eyes.
A visit to the Edakkal Caves is a chance to unearth the mystical history of Wayanad. Trek uphill for 45 minutes and explore the prehistoric carvings on the ancient boulders. The scenic views and the rock formations are breathtaking.
End the day with a visit to the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earth dam in India. Enjoy a boat ride or try the exhilarating zip line. The view of the dam from the watchtower is a must-see. Sunset near the dam is truly blissful.
For a relaxed itinerary, you can skip a few locations or extend the tour for another day. For wildlife enthusiasts, a visit to Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary or Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary can also be included. The Chembra Peak trek is perfect for the adventurous soul. It is recommended to buy the entry tickets for the locations in advance to avoid waiting in the queue.
