A Romantic Honeymoon Getaway in Wayanad

  1. Day 1: Visit Edakkal Caves

    Start your honeymoon with a visit to the Edakkal Caves, a prehistoric rock shelter formed naturally by a large split in a huge rock. You can witness ancient inscriptions, stone tools, and paintings that date back to 6000 BCE. The climb up to the caves is a bit challenging, but the panoramic view of greenery and the surrounding hills make the journey worth it.

  2. Day 2: Explore Banasura Sagar Dam

    Spend your morning at Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India. Take a boat tour around the lake and enjoy the scenic beauty of the lush green hills, crystal-clear water, and scenic surroundings. After lunch, explore the nearby Banasura Hill and take a trek to Meenmutty Falls, the second-largest waterfall in Wayanad.

  3. Day 3: Visit Pookode Lake
    1 hour 25 minutes (45 km) from Banasura Sagar Dam

    Start your day with a visit to Pookode Lake, a natural freshwater lake surrounded by green hills and lush forests. Take a pedal boat ride around the lake and spot some freshwater fishes. After lunch, head to Lakkidi Viewpoint, a picturesque location that provides a bird's eye view of the entire valley.

  4. Day 4: Explore Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary
    1 hour 20 minutes (43.8 km) from Pookode Lake

    On your last day in Wayanad, experience the wildlife at Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Take a morning jeep safari and spot Indian bison, elephants, tigers, leopards, and other endemic species of flora and fauna. After lunch, visit the nearby Jain Temple and enjoy the sunset at the nearby Kuruva Island.

Recommendations

You can also consider visiting Chembra Peak, Soochipara Falls, and Thirunelli Temple if time permits. You can also take a side trip to Coorg, a beautiful hill station located just 100 km from Wayanad. To maximize your fun, try local delicacies like bamboo rice, appam, and fish curry. Lastly, don't forget to take back some local handicrafts and spices as souvenirs.
