Explore the prehistoric Edakkal Caves that feature ancient petroglyphs dating back to the Neolithic era. The caves are situated on Ambukuthi Mala, a hill located in the Wayanad district. The trek to the caves is a challenging one, with a 1.5 km hike up the hill. However, the stunning views of the Western Ghats and the historical significance of the caves make it well worth the effort.
Get your adrenaline pumping with a range of water activities at the Banasura Sagar Dam, one of the largest earth dams in India. You can choose from options like speed boating, kayaking, banana boating and more. The dam is also surrounded by lush green mountains and offers a stunning view of the reservoir.
End your trip with a visit to the Thirunelli Temple, an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The temple is situated amidst the Brahmagiri hills and is known for its tranquil surroundings and peaceful atmosphere. Take a dip in the nearby Papanasini river which is believed to wash away all sins.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Meenmutty Falls, a three-tiered waterfall located in the Wayanad district. If you have less time, skip the Thirunelli Temple and spend more time at Banasura Sagar Dam trying out all the water activities on offer.
