Watch our road trip from Bangalore to Wayanad via Bandipur National Forest and Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala in the month of April, 2023. On our way, we visited the famous Edakkal caves in Wayand.
Wayanad, the green paradise is in the north-east of Kerala state nestled among the mountains of the Western Ghats, forming the border world of the greener part of Kerala. Located at a distance of 76 km. from the sea shores of Kozhikode, this verdant hill station is full of plantations, forests and wildlife.
About Edakkal Caves:
Located at about 1200 ft above the sea level, the Edakkal Caves are among the oldest human settlements ever discovered. Inside the caves are pictorial drawings and engravings that indicate the presence of ancient human settlements in the region. From Kalpetta, administrative headquarters of Wayanad to Edakkal Caves, the distance is 26.6 km.
Despite their name, the Edakkal Caves are not actually caves. They are part of a pre historic rock shelter, formed naturally when one huge boulder got wedged between two bigger ones. The name Edakkal itself means “a stone in between”.
The engravings are abundant and of great variety. Human figures, animals, tools, vehicles, day-to-day occurrences and scripts in different language scripts have been discovered here. The diversity of the engravings suggest that the Edakkal caves were inhabited several times at different points in history. The oldest among them date back to 6000 B.C, to the age of Stone Age man.
