Start your adventure with a trek to the highest peak in Wayanad. The morning trek up the Chembra Peak takes about 3 hours and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills. Afternoon, head to the nearby Soochipara waterfalls and take a dip in the refreshing water. In the evening, visit the Pookode Lake, a natural freshwater lake surrounded by forests. Here you can take a boat ride or a nature walk around the lake.
Embark on a wildlife safari in the morning at the Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to a variety of wildlife including tigers, elephants, leopards, and deer. In the afternoon, visit the Edakkal Caves, which are ancient rock shelters with prehistoric carvings. End your day with a visit to the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India. Enjoy the scenic view of the dam and take a speed boat ride or try some adventure activities like zip-lining, trekking or camping.
If you have more time, you can also visit the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary or the Wayanad Heritage Museum in Ambalavayal. For side trips, you can take a detour to the nearby hill stations of Ooty or Coorg. To maximize your fun, try to include some adventure activities like ziplining, camping or trekking. Another suggestion is to try some local cuisine like bamboo rice, a delicacy of Wayanad.
