Start your first day at the awe-inspiring Soochipara Waterfalls. The waterfall is nestled amidst lush greenery and rocky terrain. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the natural pool beneath the waterfall. The morning mist and spray of the falls create a surreal experience. Afternoon calls for a trek to the nearby tea and spice plantations. Take a tour of the plantation and learn about the tea and spice-making process. Evening can be spent relaxing at your hotel or visiting the Edakkal Caves, which are closed on Mondays.
On the second day, head to Kuruva Island, which is a protected river delta in the Kabini river. The island is accessible only by a bamboo raft, which adds a unique experience to your trip. Spend the morning exploring the lush greenery and spotting exotic birds and butterflies. Afternoon can be spent visiting the nearby Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary, which is closed on Wednesdays. Evening can be spent exploring the local markets and trying out traditional food.
If you have extra time, you can visit the Banasura Sagar Dam, which is the largest earth dam in India. You can also try out other adventure activities such as zip-lining, kayaking, and camping. If you want to extend your trip, you can visit the nearby towns of Coorg and Ooty. Make sure to carry enough water and sunscreen as the weather can get hot and humid during the day. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes as there will be a lot of walking and trekking involved. Lastly, make sure to carry a valid driving license and wear a helmet while riding your motorcycle.
