Recommendations

If you want to further test your limits, you can try zip-lining at Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary or rock-climbing at Soochipara Falls. For a cultural experience, visit the Edakkal Caves to see ancient rock art. If you have time, consider taking a side trip to the nearby Kuruva Island, a serene island on the Kabini River.
