Take a serene boat ride on the tranquil waters of Pookode lake that is surrounded by lush green forests and visit the aquarium located here that showcases a variety of fish species found in the lake.
Hike to the heart-shaped lake on top of the Chembra Peak, referred to as the 'Honeymoon Peak.' The trail is an 8 km round trip and rewards trekkers with breath-taking views of the surrounding valley and hills. Note: The trek is moderately challenging and requires a prior permit from the forest office.
Spend a relaxing day by the Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India. Enjoy a scenic boat ride, indulge in fishing, or trek up to the nearby hills. The viewpoint from the top offers a panoramic view of the entire area.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Edakkal Caves, Kuruva Island, or the Jain Temple Wayanad. For a shorter getaway, skip Banasura Sagar dam and spend an additional day each at Pookode Lake and Chembra Peak. When visiting Chembra Peak, be mindful of the weather conditions and carry enough food and water supplies. Check the opening and closing time of attractions and consider hiring a private vehicle or taxi for comfortable transportation.
