    Start your bachelorette trip at the spectacular Chembra Peak, one of the highest peaks in Wayanad.

Note that the trek is only open from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and due to the high altitude, it is recommended to bring warm clothing and hiking shoes.

  4. Day 2: Thirunelli Temple

Useful tips

If you have more time, add a visit to the Edakkal Caves, which are a unique historical site with ancient inscriptions. For a more adventurous bachelorette, go for a jungle camping experience near the Banasura Sagar Dam. If you have less time, consider skipping one of the stops. The Chembra Peak trek is challenging, so make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks. It is also recommended to hire a guide. Wear comfortable shoes for the waterfall visit and keep in mind that the path can be slippery. Arrive at the temple in the early morning or evening for a tranquil experience.
