Marvel at the ancient rock art in the deep, dark recesses of the Edakkal Caves. You will need to hike up a steep hill to reach the caves, but the stunning views of the Wayanad hills make the climb well worth it.
Get ready to paddle your way through a tranquil river flanked by verdant forests and lush foliage in the heart of Kuruva Island. As you navigate the meandering waters of Kabini River, spot various species of birds, butterflies, and small mammals in their natural habitus.
Embark on an enthralling jungle safari through the Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary to spot elusive predators and herbivores. Traverse through the dense canopy of the Western Ghats as you search for animals like tigers, leopards, elephants, deer, and monkeys in their nocturnal environs.
For a more relaxed itinerary, consider spending an extra day at Kuruva Island, which offers plenty of opportunities for nature walks and fishing. Alternatively, you can swap the night safari with an early morning trek to Chembra Peak, the highest mountain in Wayanad. For more adrenalin-pumping activities, head to Banasura Sagar Dam for water sports, speed boat rides, and zip lining.
