Start your trip with a hike to the Chembra Peak, spanning across 6950 ft and exhibiting lush green forests, the towering peak and the heart-shaped lake. The breathtaking view atop the peak is a perfect treat for nature lovers.
Take a morning drive to discover the serene Kuruva Island, a wooded river delta comprising fourteen small islets within the flowing Kabini river water. A pleasant walk to the island will take you through beautiful bamboo groves and multitudinous streams.
Get ready for an early ride to Banasura Sagar Dam, one of the largest earthen dams in Asia. Once there, take a speed boat to explore the scenic surroundings of the dam across the picturesque islands, streaming waterfalls and mesmerizing hills.
If you have more days to spend, visit the Edakkal Caves, the Heritage Museum, and the Soochipara Waterfalls. If you have less time, you can skip the Banasura Sagar Dam and add a cycling trip to Meenmutty Falls instead. Be sure to book your stay and travel arrangements well in advance and pack light clothing and comfortable shoes for hiking and cycling.
