Looking at Wayanad, you’ll be certain that humankind reached this place much later. The undisturbed serenity of the place shows how human culture hasn’t proliferated here yet. However, Wayanad has had visitors much before we can even imagine. Edakkal caves have stone-age carvings that exhibit the life of some of the earliest species of humans who lived right here, in Wayanad. As the origins of the caves go way back in time, there are also many mythological stories surrounding them. One of the stories that is popular among the locals is that the caves were formed when the two sons of Lord Rama shot an arrow at the stones. A 45-minute trek to this place will open doors to the Neolithic age that existed in 6000 B.C. Not just the stone age, but the artwork in the caves is believed to trace back to Indus Valley civilization too. Edakkal caves in Wayanad are surely the top contenders for places to visit in Wayanad.
