Wondrous Wayanad

Let's take you to couple of more waterfalls but this time in the God's Own Country, Kerala. Day one starts at Sulthan Bathery also known as Sulthan's Battery. The erstwhile ruler of Mysore Tipu Sultan, used the abandoned Jain Temple as his bathery in the 18th century, hence the name. From Sulthan Bathery, you can head east to Pattavayal, which a small village in Tamil Nadu. We continue southward here towards Cherambadi and then to our first waterfall of the ride, Meenmutty Falls. Meenmutty is a three-tiered waterfall with a height of 300 m. A hike of approximately 2 km is required to reach the fall. After having lunch here, ride towards Kalpetta via Meppadi―our final destination for day one.
On day two, head out early towards Soochipara falls near Meppadi. You can relax under the cold water of Soochipara Falls, which is smaller as compared to Meenmutty. Closer to Sulthan Bathery lies Edakkal Caves, which is our final destination. We take Meppadi-Ambalavayal Road to reach Edakkal Caves. The petroglyphs inside the Edakkal Caves date to 6000 BC, the Neolithic period. A pit stop at Karapuzha reservoir is highly recommended while riding towards Edakkal from Meppadi.
