majestic rugged terrain of the Western Ghats, with lofty ridges interspersed

the largest earth dam in India and the second largest in Asia. The dam extends
to a wide area with crystal clear waters. Undisturbed and engulfed amidst the
hills, Bansura Sagar Dam is an absolute beauty. During monsoons the water in
the Banasura Sagar Dam reaches its highest level and the landscape looks
greener.The various shades of fresh green simply stuns you. And the
rain-bearing clouds formed a classic backdrop. For the holidaying family and
their children, there is the option of taking a speed boat ride on the dam
waters and encircling the various islands on its way. Wayanad from
Kozhikode you have to pass through Thamarasseri Churam. Soochippara has the popular
sentinel rock waterfalls in Wayanad Kalpetta. At Soochippara there are
stretches of waterfalls which are at high altitudes ranging from 100 to 300

activities.Edakkal Caves are located 1000 metres high on Ambukutty Mala
