Start your adventure in Wayanad by conquering one of the highest peaks in the Western Ghats, Chembra Peak. The trek to the top takes around 3-4 hours and offers a stunning panoramic view of the lush green hills and blue skies. The heart-shaped lake halfway through the trek is a perfect spot for a quick break. This is a challenging trek, but definitely worth the effort for the breathtaking views at the top.
On the second day, head to the Banasura Sagar Dam and indulge in various adventure activities. You can choose from zip-lining, trekking, kayaking, and boating. One of the highlights of this place is the trek to the nearby hills, which offers a stunning view of the dam and the surrounding hills. You can also indulge in a hearty meal at the restaurant overlooking the dam.
If you have more time, you can also visit the Edakkal Caves, Soochipara Waterfalls or the Kuruva Islands. For those who have less time, they can skip the Banasura Sagar Dam and opt for a shorter trek on the first day. Make sure to carry comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and enough water on the treks. It is recommended to start the treks early in the morning so that you can avoid the afternoon heat.
