    Start your trip with a visit to the Edakkal Caves, which are natural caves formed by large rocks. The caves have prehistoric inscriptions dating back to 5000 BC. The morning is the best time to visit the caves to avoid the crowds. You need to trek up to reach the caves, and the climb can be challenging for some. After visiting the caves, enjoy a picnic lunch at the nearby picnic spot. In the afternoon, visit the Wayanad Heritage Museum, which houses a collection of artifacts and antiques from the region. End your day with a visit to the Pookode Lake, which is a freshwater lake surrounded by lush green forests.

    Start your day with a visit to the Banasura Sagar Dam, which is India's largest earthen dam and a popular tourist attraction. You can take a boat ride on the reservoir or trek up to the nearby Banasura Hill for a panoramic view of the area. In the afternoon, visit the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to various species of flora and fauna, including elephants, tigers, and deer. Go for a safari ride to explore the sanctuary. End your day with a visit to the Soochipara Waterfalls, which is a three-tiered waterfall nestled in the dense forests of Wayanad.
