The first name on the list of the most exquisite historic places in Kerala has to be Edakkal caves! These naturally occurring alcoves have been attracting tourists since 1890 when they were first discovered. The prehistoric rock and wall carvings, and mesmerising views of the surrounding hills, sounds like a perfect getaway. Doesn't it? The best part is yet to come. Since it takes around one and half hour to reach the cave entrance and another 45 minutes to get to its mouth, a trip to Edakkal caves can be a perfect little trek for adventurous souls
