Start your day by exploring the Edakkal Caves, located in the Ambukuthi Hills. These caves have ancient petroglyphs, which are over 8,000 years old. The trek to the caves is quite steep, but the view from the top is worth it. The caves are open from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, so make sure to plan your trip accordingly. You can take a guided tour of the caves, which takes about an hour.
After visiting the Edakkal Caves, head to the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. This sanctuary is home to a variety of animals, including elephants, tigers, and leopards. You can take a jeep safari through the sanctuary to see these animals in their natural habitat. The sanctuary is open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Make sure to book your safari in advance, as they tend to fill up quickly.
Start your second day by visiting the Soochipara Falls, which is a three-tiered waterfall located in the Vellarimala mountain range. You can take a short trek to reach the falls, and once there, you can swim in the natural pool at the bottom of the falls. The falls are open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but they tend to get crowded quickly. Make sure to reach there early to avoid the crowds.
End your trip by hiking up to the Chembra Peak, which is the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek to the top takes about 3 hours, but the view from the top is breathtaking. You can also camp at the top of the peak if you want to stay overnight. The peak is open from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, but you need to obtain permission from the forest department before starting your trek. Make sure to carry enough water and snacks with you for the trek.
