Your morning trek takes you up the Ambukuthi Hills to explore the prehistoric Edakkal Caves, which feature ancient rock carvings dating back to the Neolithic era. The Travel Stations will then guide you to the beautiful Soochipara Waterfalls, a three-tiered cascade where you can enjoy a refreshing walk through dense forests.

Day 4 Historical Exploration of Bekal Fort
Dedicate your day to exploring the iconic Bekal Fort, the largest and best-preserved fort in Kerala, shaped like a giant keyhole jutting into the Arabian Sea. Walk along the ancient ramparts where observation towers offer magnificent views of the coastline (famed for its appearance in various Indian films). In the afternoon, The Travel Stations will organize a local houseboat cruise or a country canoe ride along the serene, crowd-free Valiyaparamba backwaters, providing a peaceful alternative to southern Kerala’s busy canals.
