About Edakkal Caves

The Edakkal Caves consist of two natural caves, situated 25 kilometres away from Kalpetta in the Wayanad district in Kerala. They are situated at an elevation of roughly 1200 metres above sea level on Ambukuthi Mala. These caves are the only place in India where you can see stone carvings. You can find pictures and inscriptions within the caves that testify to the existence of prehistoric human settlements in the area. These include shaped figures, pot-shaped objects, and various animal and human figures. You can also see Brahmi and Tamil Script inside the caves. Many Kerela tours include a visit to the Edakkal Caves, offering a unique glimpse into the region's ancient history.

The origins of the amazing Edakkal cave paintings remain a mystery, despite their remarkable magnitude and complexity. They have inspired wonder and amazement in both tourists and historians since their discovery in 1895. To reach the caves, you need to hike up the Ambukuthi Hill. Climbing up the hill through coffee plantations takes about 45 minutes and offers a rewarding and memorable adventure. The hike, the drive to the caves, and the views of the surrounding area from the peak make the trip to the caves wholesome.

The view of the lake from the balcony of our room at Serenity Resort was the highlight of our stay here. Me and my partner had an amazing experience here, and loved the service, food and our room. All preventive measures were also taken, since we had visited during covid. We also availed a discount offer from Thrillophilia.
