Start your adventurous trip by trekking to the highest peak in Wayanad - Chembra Peak. The trek takes around 3-4 hours (round trip) and is a bit challenging, as it involves walking through dense forests and steep terrains. But the picturesque views of the heart-shaped lake on the top make it all worth it. Make sure to carry enough water, snacks, and wear comfortable shoes.
Spend your day bamboo rafting and exploring the lush green forests of Kuruva Island. The rafting takes around 2 hours, and you'll get to see a variety of flora and fauna during the ride. The island has several walking trails, so you can also choose to explore it on foot. Don't forget to carry insect repellent and sunscreen.
End your trip by exploring the fascinating Edakkal Caves, which have etchings and carvings dating back to the Neolithic Age. The caves are located on top of a hill and involve a bit of climbing. The view of the surrounding mountains from the top is stunning. The place is usually crowded, so it's best to visit early in the morning.
Book your bamboo rafting tickets in advance to avoid waiting in long queues. Carry enough cash, as some places don't have card payment options. Start your day early to avoid crowds and make the most of your time. Wear comfortable shoes and carry a backpack with essentials such as water, snacks, sunscreen and insect repellent.
