THE DESTINATION

Edakkal Caves

Reached by hiking, these remote caves feature petroglyphs from the Stone Age, plus scenic views.

The Edakkal Caves are a famous prehistoric archaeological site located on Ambukuthi Hills in Wayanad, Kerala. They are known for their ancient rock carvings (petroglyphs), which are believed to be over 6,000 years old. The caves are actually natural rock shelters formed by a huge boulder resting between two rocks. The carvings include images of humans, animals, symbols, and tools, providing valuable information about the lives of early humans. Visitors reach the caves by climbing a hill, where they can also enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Edakkal Caves are an important historical site and a popular tourist destination in Kerala.
