How to Reach Eddakal Caves in Wayanad

The Edakkal Caves are located on the top of Ambukutty Mala, in Wayanad. They are located around 28 km from Kalpetta, 14 km from Sulthan Bathery, and 6 km from Ambalavalayal. The Edakkal Caves are among the top tourist destination in Wayanad.

The Edakkal Caves are located at an altitude of 4000 feet. Auto, cars, and buses may be available from Sulthan Bathery, Ambalavalayal, and Kalpetta to the Edakkal Caves in Wayanad. The nearest railway stations are the Nilambur Road Railway Station which is 38 km away from Edakkal Caves and Kozhikode which is 97 km from Sultan Bathery. The nearest airport is the Calicut International Airport which is located 23 km from Kozhikode. If you are traveling by road you can take the Pinangode road on the Kozhikode-Mysore-Kollegal highway then enter the Kolagappara-Ambalavayal road.

The route towards the Edakkal Caves in Wayanad goes through beautiful landscapes and sights. The trek up the hill is filled with coffee plantations and will take you around forty-five minutes to reach on top of the hill. The tickets to the Edakkal Caves can be taken from the remote ticket office which is perched high on the top of the mountain. The authorities literally open an iron gate for its visitor to enter the magnificent caves.

The Edakkal Caves in Wayanad may not be the best place for the elderly to visit. A trek for an hour and a half may be needed to reach the gates of the cave. To reach the end destination one has to go through a 1.5 km uphill trek from the parking area below to the top. One has to climb more than 300 steps to enter this stone age site.

The visiting time for the Edakkal Caves in Wayanad is from morning 9:30 to evening 4:30. During this time the lower parts of Ambukutty hills can be reached via the bus and car services available. Jeeps are made available by the DTPC which would leave you to the mid parts of the hill. The entry price of the cave is almost free. It is between 10 to 20 rupees for Indian nationals and 40 rupees for foreigners.

We had an awesome and fun filled family trip. Mr. Robin from Comfort Destination had arranged a very good hotel stay with sea view rooms as requested. We are very much satisfied with the hotel stay. Food was delicious in all hotel stays. Special mention to the food in house boat at Alleppey. Robin h

as arranged a very friendly cab driver Mr. Thanseel. His driving was super good and safe. He is also very informative with the locations. We are eager to plan our next trips with the Travel Triangle especially with Comfort Destination. We will very much suggest travel triangle to our family, friends and colleagues. The overall experience was very nice, very good and satisfactory. Poovar island, Alleppey House Boat, Kovalam, Cochin

It was a great tour experience. Very well planned by Trip sailer agent (Namit), Traveltriangle. I was explained everything in detail by Namit and the Driver(Sajith Joseph) too was awesome, he has guided us about the places and local specialities through out the tour and has taken care of our family

with utmost respect and friendly behaviour. Excellent service overall. Thanks for giving our family many good moments to cherish.

Bala's 4 days trip to Wayanad

Hi Team, As you this wasn't my 1st trip with you guys. Though booking was hassle free was surprised to after service, moreover your App was so pathetic which I had complained also, inspite of install & uninstall multiple times , I had login and due payment issues. No transparency on cost due to w

hich I eventually paid on higher payment instead of what it was promised to be, refund for the same pending. Had mixed opinion on overall journey 1) Driver Nice and very friendly guy and always promot on his duty, full 5star for him. 2) Hotel - Lake View munnar * Property was good with view point and staffs etc. But drawbacks were , It's 3 Star hotel rather 4 star. I had face Hot water issue for all days, Team used to attend complaint but didn't get resolved . Food for one night was so bad and it lacks with other amenities to be called a 4Star. 3) Boat house It was fantastic, nice crew team, Good food & Hospitality. It didn't had hot water facilities As I was carrying my infant , but overall it was a happy stay. 4) Support from Travel agent / Travel triangle representative Totally below par to my expectations, As eveytime I need to do too many follow ups, Still I didn't get my refund amount on excess money paid. House boat stay and Villa Property of hotel.
