Wayanad Beach 2-Day Itinerary for June 2023

  1. Day 1: Pookode Lake
    1 hour 15 minutes (29.9 km) from Kalpetta

    Morning: Start your day at Pookode Lake, a freshwater lake surrounded by lush green forests. Take a 20-minute paddleboat ride or a leisurely stroll around the lake. Don't miss the aquarium nearby which showcases a variety of fish species.

    Afternoon: Head to the Chain Tree, an interesting tree with a chain embedded in it. Legend has it that this was the place where a tribal youth named Karinthandan was killed by a British officer. The chain marks the spot where Karinthandan's spirit requested the tribal people to tie him to the tree so that they could take revenge on his murder.

    Evening: Visit the Lakkidi Viewpoint, which offers a panoramic view of the mist-covered hills of Wayanad. Enjoy a hot cup of tea and some delicious snacks while taking in the stunning view.

    Afternoon: Visit the Edakkal Caves, a group of ancient caves that are famous for their prehistoric rock carvings. It is a steep hike to the caves, but the view from the top is worth the effort.

    Evening: Spend your evening at the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India. Enjoy a boat ride on the dam and take in the scenic beauty around you.
