Edakkal Caves
Edakkal Caves is a remarkable prehistoric rock shelter located on Ambukuthi Mala near Sulthan Bathery, Wayanad. The site is famous for its ancient petroglyphs—rock carvings of human figures, animals, symbols and everyday objects—some dating back to around 6000 BCE.
The name “Edakkal” means “a stone in between,” referring to the huge boulder wedged between two larger rocks that forms the natural shelter. Visitors reach the site by a scenic uphill trek and a climb of roughly 300 steps.
