Itinerary
Arrival, Transfer to Wayanad & Relaxed Lakeside Evening

Tip: Keep light rainwear handy during monsoon months. Evening strolls are kid-friendly and a great way to acclimatize.
Edakkal Caves & Heritage Walk
After breakfast, head to the iconic Edakkal Caves—famous for prehistoric petroglyphs. A moderate uphill walk (approx. 20–30 minutes) leads to the cave complex. Post-lunch explore the Wayanad Heritage Museum and nearby viewpoints. Evening free for a local market visit or optional cultural program.
Important: Edakkal involves uneven steps — suitable footwear recommended. Children should be supervised inside the caves.
Wildlife Safari & Banasura Sagar Dam
Early morning safari at Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary (or Muthanga depending on permits) to spot elephants, deer, birds and possibly gaur. Return for a late breakfast and relax. In the afternoon visit Banasura Sagar Dam — enjoy a serene boat ride and panoramic views of the surrounding hills.
Note: Safari timings and availability are subject to park rules; permits included. Carry binoculars and a camera with zoom.
Chembra Peak Trek or Family Nature Alternatives
Day reserved for the Chembra Peak trek to the famous heart-shaped lake (popular but moderately strenuous). For families or those preferring less exertion, choose a shorter nature walk or visit Meenmutty Falls (short trek) and scenic viewpoints.
Safety Note: Chembra trek requires moderate fitness and prior permit; children under recommended age should avoid the full ascent. Pack water, snacks, sun protection and comfortable trekking shoes.
Kuruva Island & Tribal Village Experience

Cultural Tip: Be respectful when photographing tribal members; ask permission and avoid sensitive areas.
