Wayanad - Day 3

Read Day 2 here

Our legs were still aching from the previous days walk especially the Edakkal caves visit.

We headed to Bannasura Sagar dam and reached around 10:00 AM. There is a van which can take you to the top of the dam. We chose to walk and it is again a long walk and a climb. It is a massive dam. It was full of water. I noticed a sign saying "Beware of snakes" there. There is a zipline but we did not go for it. We chose the speed boat ride and it costs Rs 1000 per boat which can take 5 people. They take you on a long ride for around 15 mins and the scenery is just amazing.

Then we went to a place called Wonderland which is close by. It is a place where they have various birds and pet animals on display. You also get a chance to feed the birds and their nails does hurt. If you are brave enough you can snap a photo with a python or iguana. I ran away from them. There is also a fish spa inside.

Next stop was at Spices Garden. There is a spices shop and a saree shop. 

From there we headed for Kanthampara falls and skipped Karlad lake. Kanthampara falls was amazing. Taking bath in the falls was not allowed but people were allowed to swim upstream.

Then had our lunch and headed for the famous 900Kandy.

At 900Kandy it costs Rs 1250 for a trip to the top where the famous glass bridge is there. Once you reach the top it is again Rs 250 per head. The offroad trip to the top is not for the weak. It can make you vomit easily. I am surprised that the vehicles survive this ride. I will not forget this ride for a long time. There is nothing much at the top. The view from the glass bridge is great but the glass bridge was ok. 

We were lucky that these places were less crowded.

I tried Unniappam and Pazham pori. Unniappam is Paniyaram in Tamilnadu.

Tomorrow we have to check out and that will complete our 4 day visit to Wayanad.
