Kalpatta, India

Edakkal caves

The Edakkal caves are two natural caves at a remote location in Sultan Bathery in the Wayanad district of Kerala in India. They lie 1,200 m above sea level on Ambukutty Mala, near an ancient trade route connecting the high mountains of Mysore to the ports of the Malabar Coast. Inside the caves are etched petroglyphs believed to date to at least 6,000 BCE, from the Neolithic man, indicating the presence of a prehistoric settlement in this region.
