Edakkal Caves was an unexplored place till very recently. It has 2 natural caves located 1000 metres high on Ambukutty Mala in Wayanad district. You have to get down at Edakkal and do a 1 km trekking to reach these caves.Edakkal caves is said to be formed as a result of earthquake. Inside the caves are pictorial writings believed to be from Neolithic man, evidence of the presence of a prehistoric civilization existing in this region. The cave drawings are as old as 8000 years, and depict pictures of ancient tribal chieftains, elephants, queens and tools. Such Stone Age carvings are very rare and these are the only known examples in southern India. I bade goodbye to that place hoping this place will be maintained as a heritage for the future generations.
