One of the earliest centers of human habitation. The caves house ancient stone scripts, pictorial wall inscriptions of human and animal figures, symbols and cave drawings of wheels, bows, knives and so on. Similar cave drawings, considered to be 7000 years old, are found only in Stiriya in the European Alps and a few rocky places in Africa. The caves can be reached either after a 5 km trek from Ambalavayal or by a 1 km trekking trail from Edakkal.
