Start your day early with an adventurous trek to the highest peak in Wayanad - Chembra. The trek is around 4 km long and takes around 3-4 hours to complete. Enjoy the beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and the heart-shaped Chembra lake on the top. After descending the peak, head to the nearby Pookode Lake for lunch. Paddle around the freshwater lake surrounded by lush greens and try out some local delicacies. Spend the evening at the Banasura Sagar Dam, which is a 40-minute drive from the lake. The dam offers a serene view of the Banasura hills and the dam itself is the largest earthen dam in India.
Start your day by visiting the ancient Thirunelli Temple, situated in the Brahmagiri Hills. The temple is surrounded by lush greens and a freshwater stream flows nearby. After seeking blessings at the temple, head to Kuruva Island, which is a group of uninhabited islands on the Kabini River. The island is accessible via a bamboo raft and offers a unique experience of walking on the river. Spend the evening at the Meenmutty waterfalls, which is a 1-hour 30-minute drive from Kuruva Island. Trek through the forest to reach the waterfall and enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool water.
