Cave Trekking Footwear: The hike up to Edakkal Caves involves steep, uneven rocky steps. Sturdy trekking or walking shoes with excellent grip are mandatory.
Spice Garden Shopping: When visiting the spice gardens in Thekkady, you can buy farm-fresh authentic spices. Carrying some extra cash is recommended for small local purchases.
