Embark on a trek to the Chembra Peak, the highest point in Wayanad. This challenging trek takes about 3 to 4 hours, and the views from the top make all the effort worth it. Keep an eye out for the heart-shaped Chembra Lake on the trek. Don't forget to obtain permission from the Meppadi Forest Department before you start your trek.
Experience the natural beauty of Kuruva Island, a serene river delta and uninhabited island. Take a guided trek through the island to enjoy bird watching, elephant spotting, and serene views of the river and islets. The island is open to tourists between 9:30 AM and 3:30 pm, so plan accordingly. You can also enjoy a peaceful bamboo rafting experience in the slow-moving waters of the Kabini River. Some areas of the island may be closed due to environmental protection measures.
For adventure enthusiasts with more time to spare, consider adding the Lakkidi Viewpoint, Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary, or Banasura Sagar Dam to your itinerary. If you have less time, opt for a one-day itinerary by choosing either the Chembra Peak or Kuruva Island and combining it with other nearby attractions such as Pookode Lake or Soochipara Falls.
