Edakkal Cave

These caves are one of the major tourist attractions in and around Kerala as it displays the great marvels of nature. The most noteworthy aspect of these caves are that there has been absolutely zero human interference in having these constructed and are a result of the natural forces. The cave is formed as a grand cleft in a huge rock and appeals considerably to the historians and archaeologists. The walls of the cave have been carved by the tribes living in and around the cave over a large number of years. These carvings give the tourists an insight into the ancient life in the region. The structures so carved are of sports, human and animal figures along with numerous symbols. Many historians are of the view that this cave is the evidence of one of the earliest centres of human habitation.

Pookot Lake

This is a freshwater lake that entices many tourists to itself on a regular basis. Boating in this lake- whether on row boats or on pedal boats, is an exquisite experience in itself due to the green and high ranges along the lake. If you are not fond of water sports or are not in a mood to go for boating, you must at least take a long walk alongside the lake- that in itself is an enchanting experience. After taking a refreshing stroll all around the lake, it is but natural if you also want to spend some time relaxing in the park located right next to the lake. Make sure you have enough time when you visit this lake because it will be such a pity if you are unable to visit the aquarium, the green-house and the nursery. Most of all, you can also shop for the artefacts and handicrafts, the spices grown in and around the area.
