Home to four hill ranges – Tholpetty, Sulthan Bathery, Kurichiat and Muthanga, this wildlife sanctuary was established in 1973.

Open from 8:30 AM to 4 PM, Edakkal caves are located on Ambukutty Mala at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level. This pair of caves was discovered in 1890 by Fred Fawcett and is a nice place to explore in the winter months of November to January.

For INR 20 per person and INR 40 for parking, this attraction is quite affordable if you are on a budget. The pathway through the caves is steep, so shoes with good grip are required. You will be hiking for about a kilometer and climbing around 300 steps, so a moderate level of fitness is also recommended.

There are plenty of roadside stalls nearby where you can have your breakfast before beginning your exploration or lunch after you return exhausted. But beware of the monkeys that are on the pry. The caves bear plenty of inscriptions and the petroglyphs are of particular interest to historians and archaeologists.

3. Cheengeri Hills

One of the must visit places in Wayanad during your 2-day trip is Cheengeri Hills which are only accessible until 5:30 PM. If you are a fitness enthusiast, a trek up this hill is quite attractive. There are a few stores at the starting point of this hike where you can buy some refreshments. However, if you attempt this hike at 6 AM when the trail opens, you may not find any open vendors, so it is a good idea to pack your snacks and water ahead of time.

You must pay the entry fee of INR 100 per person to go up Cheengeri Mala (where “mala” means “hill”). If you are under confident about making the climb, you can use the ropes that assist climbers along the way. The ascent is approximately 2 km. From the top, you will get a 360-degree view of the valleys around. You can also request for a guide dog at the ticket office if you wish for some canine company.

4. Phantom Rock

A short drive away from Cheengeri Mala, Phantom Rock is a naturally occurring mountain formation that can be accessed from 8 AM to 5 PM on all days of the week. This is another trek, so if you are not up for multiple hikes on the same day, you can skip one and pick the other. This sight is so named because of the shape of the rocks that resemble the head of a man. This formation is so clearly visible from various places nearby that you can also see it from Edakkal Caves.

If you happen to arrive a bit late here, you can enjoy the sunset from the top. You will find the sky bathed in various colors as the sun slowly dips into the horizon.

With a spillway capacity of 34,220 cubic feet per second, this dam boasts a height of 28 meters. Karapuzha Dam is spread over 3 square miles and has an active capacity of 58,371 acre feet.

There is an adventure park in the premises with attractions such as human catapult and ziplining – known to be the longest in all of Wayanad. You can also jump on the trampoline or admire the vibrant flowers in the garden or simply let your children play in the kids’ park. The rides are nominally priced and this tourism area has multiple dining options as well. If you wish to have a nice view of the lake, take a stroll along the top of the dam.

6. Chembra Peak

Begin day-2 with a visit to the highest peak of Wayanad – Chembra Peak. Located 7,000 feet above the sea level, this peak offers a sweeping view of a heart-shaped lake called ‘Hridayasarassu’ from the summit. If you visit in the monsoon, you will also find plenty of waterfalls on your way to the top. If you are unsure about finding the trail on your own, you may also hire a guide to lead you there.

It is recommended to begin your hike before 7 AM and no later than 2 PM to be able to safely make your way back down while there is still sunlight. The hike starts along tea plantations and the gentle incline gives way to steeper terrains as the trail progresses. Expect to hike for about 3 km from the base camp and prepare to have a moderate level of fitness for this trek.

The guided trek offered by the Forest Department costs INR 20 for Indian adults, INR 30 for foreigners and INR 15 for students. If you wish to take your camera along, a fee of INR 40 is applicable to Indians and INR 80 to foreigners.

7. En Ooru Village

For a journey back in time and into a bucolic culture, drive to En Ooru, which is an artificially created village. Open from 9 AM to 5 PM on all days of the week, this village is about 2 km away from the parking spot and a shared jeep can be rented for INR 30 per person or go for a private SUV for INR 50 per person for the round trip. Entry to this tribal village costs INR 50 per person and the place is equipped with a café and a restaurant as well.

Take photos inside traditional mud huts and browse through the artifacts that are exhibited at the open stalls. The hilltop view is worth boasting about, especially if you visit in the afternoon or early evening when the weather is pleasant. The huts here are of various designs and they depict the actual abode of the tribes in the region.

8. Wayanad Tea Museum

Just half an hour away from the village is Wayanad Tea Museum. This century-old museum spills all the beans about tea leaf processing and even has a tea tasting room where you can try some of the concoctions. Separate fees are applicable for the museum tour and the tea tasting.

At Wayanad Tea Museum, you will also learn about the history of tea in the country and discover the various ways of preparing tea. If you are keen on becoming a tea taster or are curious to know what they do, this is a good place to start.

Even though this list mentions only a few places to visit in Wayanad in 2 days , there is much more to see and do here. You can change your itinerary to include attractions of your liking or even better, increase the number of days in this Kerala town to enjoy the best of what Wayanad has to offer.

Wayanad & Ooty (India) - Come Fall in Love

One week off. What to do?? That was the starting stage of this trip. My self and my best buddy Anil were discussing what to do. We searched the hill stations of south. Options were many. At last we decided to explore Wayanad . In all terms the trip was affordable. So plan fixed. I worked out to make it a proper plan. Google, maps, Outlook India and finally I made a Itinerary. Plan was Chennai to Kozhikode . Kozhikode to Mananthavady to Kalpetta (with Anil). From here I have to travel alone. SO from here, Kalpetta to Sulthan Bathery to mini Ooty to Coimbatore back to Chennai. Actually from Coimbatore to Coimbatore its a 'O' circle plan. Advantageous one. So, its time to executive. In last minute rush no tickets to Kozhikode. So we decided an alternate plan. Chennai-Coimbatore-Phalghath- Kozhikode. Distance wise its all same but I have to break at every town.

Boarded Blue mountain express to Coimbatore.

Mananthavady

Day 2: (to mananthavady).

Reached Coimbatore at 4.30 am. Hired a auto to bus stand. Boarded a TNSETC bus to Phalgath. Reached Phalgath by 6.30 am. Had breakfast. Boarded a bus to Kozhikode (Fast Passenger). Reached Kozhikode by noon. Had Kozhikode birayani (special dish of the town). Boarded a bus to Mananthavady. Reached the destination by 4pm. (all journey by government bus as they are more secure than pvt ones). Hired an auto to Forest Range office to enquire about Tholpetty WLS (wild life sanctuary). As instructed from office we travelled to Tholpetty WLS. Amazing view as its Kerala Karnataka border and a very long queue for safari tickets. I enquired for a wild trek for tomorrow. By the way unlike rest of India, the Kerala government wildlife officials were very polite and respectable. He replied, currently the trek has been cancelled due to a man died of elephant attack yesterday. The trek was awesome indeed. Inside forest with animals all around. We will be escorted by armed forest rangers. We missed it. Due to long queue we understood that its not possible to get a ticket to safari today. We returned to Mananthavady and hired a room.

Kuruvadweep

Day 3: (mananthavady- kuruvadweep, tholpetty wls).

After breakfast we headed to Kuruvadweep. Its a island in the Kabini river on the the Kerala govt is having a eco-tourism project. We boarded a bus to Kuruvadweep at 7.40 am. After a 1 hour journey we reached the destination. From the drop point the entrance was about 1.5km. We walked. The issue of tickets was not yet started. Local guard told the forest rangers have gone inside the forest to ensure there is no elephants in the area. At 10 am the tickets were issued and we boarded the wooden raft. The Kabini river was gorgeous and flowing silently. The raft was steered using ropes tied at both ends. The Island has various fauna and flora. Spending quality time, we hired a motor rickshaw and got ourselves dropped at Mananthavady. After lunch we moved to Tholpetty WLS. At 1330 we reached there. I was standing 3rd in the queue. Slowly the queue started prolificating and by 4pm the situation was same as yesterday. Usually the weekend are like this. In between we explored the near by tribal areas and borders. We got the tickets and boarded the jeep for safari. Thick green forest with strange sounds. I was thrilled. Unfortunately we didn't spot tiger but saw malabar squirrel, wild bison, elephants, a species of wild dogs, deers, langurs, a variety of birds specially horn bills. Finishing safari, we returned to Mananthavady and checked out of hotel and headed to Kalpetta. We boarded the bus at 1900 hrs and reached Kalpetta at 2100 hrs. After having our dinner we hire a room in hotel Woodlands.

Day 4: (Kalpetta - Chembra Peak, Soochipara Waterfall)

Woke up early and checked out the hotel. Headed to tourism office. Unfortunately it was closed. We contacted the head official on phone. The man politely answered my questions and clearly. Our first destination was Chembra Peak. It is the highest peak in the district.

We boarded a bus to Meppadi forest range office. From there as instructed we hired a motor rickshaw to Chembra peak office. The motor rickshaw drivers were extra ordinary descent. After getting the permits we started our trek with a teen guide. It was cloudy and precipitating. The boy told us, "sir, its doubtful that we would be able to make it to top and there are chances of rain". Trusting my android I told him, chances of rain after 1300 hrs. So we can. The guide was 50% lazy to climb till end. In between we reached Heart shaped lake. After about 2 hour trek we reached the top. Due to cluding we were not able to see the TamilNadu places. But a large reservoir of same dam (Mettur as told by guide) was visible. Elephants are likely to share your trail till heart lake.

Soochipara Waterfalls

After having lunch at Meppadi we headed to Soochipara waterfall in a rickshaw. The destination was well far and one has to take full hired jeep or rickshaw to and fro. From the entrance to reach the waterfall, its a good trek. The water was gushing due to post monsoon. Evening time made the situation more awesome. Reached Meppadi by rickshaw and Kalpetta by bus. Had our dinner. Anil boarded Mysore bus and I boarded bus to Sulthan Battery. There are 2 highways running to Mysore. One operates from 6 am to 6 pm. The restriction is due to movement of wild animals like tigers and elephants on highways. The other one operates round the clock but as Anil experienced you may get a chance to see herd of elephants crossing hopefully not attacking.

Day 5: (Sulthan Battery (SB)- Edakkal caves, Muthanga WLS)

After breakfast, I headed to SB bus stand to board bus to Edakkal caves. After a 45 min journey I reached the drop point. From there the cave entrance is approx 2km uphill trek. The cave is awesome historic structure. The petroglyphs inside the cave are of at least three types. The oldest may date back to over 8,000 years. Evidences suggest that the Edakkal caves were inhabited several times at different points in history. The caves contain drawings that range over periods from as early as 5000 BC to 1000 BC. The youngest group of paintings have been in the news for a possible connection to the Indus Valley Civilization. From there I was able to view the Phantom rock. Thrilled with Edakkal cave's history I returned to SB. After having my lunch I headed to Muthanga WLS hoping for any rare sighting. As it was weekday and I was alone, I got the ticket and entered in the second trip. A day ago, a group of jeeps were chased by a herd of elephants. The safari was as usual spotted normal wild animals. Returned to SB to my hotel.

Day 6: (Ooty)

Boarded the super express of KSRTC to Ooty at 10 am. By 1 pm I reached Ooty. It was a different climate from SB. Hired a room and took a nap. After having dinner I explored the streets. The streets of Ooty was quite similar to that of Shimla and Mussoorie . A typical British era hill station.

Day 7: (Ooty)

Doddabetta peak.

My first destination was Doddabetta. It is the highest point in Ooty. The govt runs a special tourism 'Circuit Bus' in which you have to purchase ticket once and you can travel for the whole day. Its a chain of buses running in certain interval of time. I reached Doddabetta at about 10 am and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. From here one can view the entire Ooty city, Wellington, Love dale etc. You have restaurants near by and few souvenir shops. Headed back in the same Circuit bus I reached the city, had my dinner. I then headed to Botanical garden. I was amazed to see this. Lots of plants, rather than lots its variety of plants trees. Its one of it in the country. Finishing my dinner and roaming the city I headed back to hotel.

Day 8: (Back to Coimbatore by Nilgiri Railways)

Its pack up time. I was heading to Coimbatore from where I have booked my ticket to Chennai in KPN B9R. Initially I thought i will take a bus. But while walking to bus stand the railway station struck me and made me to think "I have tried Shimla toy train. Let me try this one too - Nilgiri toy train". I went to the counter and surprised no one was there. I enquired, till now no one has came. So I was the first person. Kept my backpack there and sat aside. Slowly the queue stretched as the time to open the counter neared. I was the first to get the ticket. I asked for a reservation but he told reservations are full and current ticket is from Ooty to till Connor. Ok. Anyway within short notice I managed to get a ticket is a big achievement for me. The train powered by an environment friendly diesel engine. The journey was awesome. Tunnels, bridges I reached Connor. From Connor the real adventurous train journey starts. The bogies are cut shortened to 3. From here the train climbs using a teeth gear system as assistance. After finishing my lunch at Connor, I boarded a bus to Mettupalayam . From there another bus to Coimbatore. Finally by 9 pm I reached omnibus stand. At 11.45 pm my journey towards Chennai commenced.

Day 9: Chennai

I reached Chennai at 6 am. The polluted air made me to miss Wayanad and Ooty to extreme.

Overall, the trip was enjoyable. People were good and officials were friendly. Nature too supported me by providing me a awesome climate throughout the trip. Mobile range is available through out the trip. ATM's are available at Mananthavady, SB as these are the last point in Kerala. Always carry umbrella with you. Always get advice from authorised officials.

Mananthavady is a town, a grama panchayath and taluk in the Wayanad district of Kerala, India. The town is located on the banks of Mananthavady Puzha, a tributary of the Kabini River. Mananthavady has been referred to as "Hosenkadi" in a dictum scribbled under a copper artifact found at the Ananthanathaswamy Temple at Varadoor. The dominant view on the etymology is that the word is derived from "Mane Eytha Vady (The place where an arrow was shot at the deer)". This view is strengthened by the existence of a place called Ambukuthy, literally the location where the arrow pierced, on the outskirts of the town. This area was once ruled by the Pazhassi dynasty and the tomb of Pazhassi Raja is an important heritage site located in the heart of the town.

Chembra Peak

Chembra peak is situated near Meppady town and it is about 17 km from Kalpetta. It is the tallest peak in the region and a trek to the 6890 ft (2100 m above MSL ) peak is a challenge that is difficult to resist for an adventure tourist. Prior permission from Forest Range Office at Meppadi is needed for the trek as it is part of the Meppadi Forest Range. A drive from Meppadi to the foothill of the peak is breathtaking and you can feel the cool wind and the lush greenery of tea estates on both sides of the road rejuvenating your spirits. You can see a three-storied forest watch tower on the foothill of the peak and a three kilometre trek from the foothill is at the same time tiring and exciting. A heart-shaped crystal perennial lake fed by natural springs can be seen at the middle of your journey. Even if it is scorching summer, the lake brims with water and helps you quench your thirst. It is said that during the British era, British planters came here to play golf in the evenings and they constructed a stable for their horses and a rest house in the area. The relics of the rest house can be seen here even now. Once you reach the top of Chembra peak, you will be astounded by the view that the place offers. With the varying shades of the virgin shola forests on both sides, you may feel a heavenly bliss that only the pristine nature can bestow upon human beings. From this vantage point, the tourists can observe the mist clad peaks of Nilgiri ranges which include the Nilambur forests of Malappuram district. Apart from this, the town of Kalpetta and most parts of Wayanad district too are visible. The varying topography of the district which includes hills, rocks and valleys can be enjoyed the most from Chembra peak and you can also observe the silver linings of streams among the thick greenery. There is also a picturesque lake atop the hills which is another tourist attraction.

Nilgiri Mountain Railway Line

The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is a railway in Tamil Nadu, India, built by the British in 1908 and was initially operated by the Madras Railway. The railway still relies on its fleet of steam locomotives. NMR comes under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Salem Division. In July 2005, UNESCO added the Nilgiri Mountain Railway as an extension to the World Heritage Site of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, the site then became known as "Mountain Railways of India."After it satisfied the necessary criteria, thus forcing abandonment of the modernisation plans. For the past several years diesel locomotives have taken over from steam on the section between Coonoor and Udhagamandalam. Between Mettupalayam and Coonoor, the line uses the Abt rack and pinion system to climb the steep gradient. On this rack section trains are operated by 'X' Class steam rack locomotives manufactured by the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works of Winterthur in Switzerland. These steam locomotives can be used on any part of the line (either with or without the rack section),but the newer diesel locomotives can operate on the entire section, between Mettupalayam and Udagamandalam.This signals the beginning of the process to phase out the coal-fired vintage Swiss engines that took scores of passengers on the rack and pinion track to Coonoor and Udhagamandalam, covering 41.8 kilometres (26.0 mi), 108 curves, 16 tunnels and 250 bridges

This of dense and evergreen forest is uninhabited and hence a home to rare kinds of flora and fauna: uncommon species of birds, orchids and herbs namely.

Soochipara Falls also known as Sentinel Rock Waterfalls is a three-tiered waterfall in Vellarimala, Wayanad, surrounded by Deciduous, Evergreen and Montane forests. Locally referred to as Soochipara ("Soochi" meaning "Needle" and "Para" meaning "Rock"), the 15-20 minute drive from Meppadi to Sentinel Rock Waterfalls offers scenic views of some of the best tea estates in Wayanad. The Sentinel Rock Waterfalls is 200 metres (656 feet) and offers a cliff face that is ideal for rock climbing. The water from Soochipara Falls later joins Chulika River or popularly known as Chaliyar River after Velarimala Hills near Cherambadi (Tamil Nadu) in Kerala.

These are not technically caves, but rather a cleft or rift approximately 96 feet (29 m) by 22 feet (6.7 m), a 30-foot-deep (9.1 m) fissure caused by a piece of rock splitting away from the main body. On one side of the cleft is a rock weighing several tons that covers the cleft to form the 'roof' of the cave. The carvings are of human and animal figures, tools used by humans and of symbols yet to be deciphered, suggesting the presence of a prehistoric settlement. The petroglyphs inside the cave are of at least three types. The oldest may date back to over 8,000 years. Evidences suggest that the Edakkal caves were inhabited several times at different points in history. The caves were discovered by Fred Fawcett, a police official of the erstwhile Malabar state in 1890 who immediately recognised their anthropological and historical importance. He wrote an article about them, attracting the attention of scholars. The caves contain drawings that range over periods from as early as 5000 BC to 1000 BC. The youngest group of paintings have been in the news for a possible connection to the Indus Valley Civilization.
