Edakkal Caves Trek Route Map

There are two stretches of trek . First from Edakkal town to the ticket counter location and the second from the ticket locatio to the Ambukuthimala hilltop.

Trek is split into two sections. From the parking area around the village square to the ticket counter, midway is a paved uphill road. No private vehicles are allowed. Though uphill, this is a relatively easier part of the trek. You may also opt for the shared jeep service operated by the district tourism promotion council. The second lap of the trek start after the ticket counter. The harder part of the trek to the caves start from the base point where the entry ticket counter is located. The path up to the cave site is a combination of paved trails, steps made of stone, scrambling through boulders and climbing metal ladders.
