Formed by a large split in a huge rock, the two natural rock formations represent the world's richest pictographic gallery of its kind.
The two caves located at a height of 1000m on Ambukutty Mala near Ambalavayal can be accessed only by a 1 km trek trail from Edakkal. Edakkal literally means 'a stone in between'.
It is a prehistoric rock shelter formed naturally out of a strange disposition of three huge boulders making one to rest on the other two, with its bottom jutting out in between and serving as the roof.
Edakkal rock engravings stand out distinct among the magnitude of prehistoric visual archives of paintings and graphic signs all over the world.

Archaeologists consider
these as one of the earliest centres of human habitation. It is believed
that similar straight-line cave drawings that are considered 7000 years
old can be seen only in Stiriya in the European Alps and a few rocky
places in Africa.
