Morning: Start your morning early by hiking to the top of the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek is moderate, and it takes around two hours to reach the heart-shaped lake on top of the peak. The serene view of the valley from the peak is worth the effort.
Afternoon: Head to Pookode Lake, a natural freshwater lake surrounded by lush green forests. You can enjoy boating, horse riding, and a walk in the park.
Evening: End your day by visiting the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earth dam in India. The scenic view of the dam, surrounded by Banasura Hill, is a feast for the eyes.
Morning: Explore the Edakkal Caves, located 1200 meters above sea level, which is known for its prehistoric rock carvings. The trek uphill to the caves takes around an hour, and it is worth it for the stunning view from the top.
Afternoon: Visit the Wayanad Heritage Museum, which houses an extensive collection of artifacts, paintings, and historical objects.
Evening: End your day with a romantic candlelight dinner at the Mezzaluna restaurant, known for its delicious Mediterranean and Italian cuisine.
If you have extra time, you can visit the Kuruva Island, which is a serene island located on the Kabini River. You can enjoy trekking, bird watching, and boating.
Another side trip worth taking is a visit to the Thirunelli Temple, an ancient temple located amidst the Brahmagiri hills.
To maximize your fun, you can take a jeep safari at the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary and explore the rich flora and fauna of Wayanad.
Finally, I suggest trying the local cuisine, especially the appam and stew, which is a delicious breakfast dish.
