Climb the Chembra Peak, the tallest peak in the region with a height of 2,100 meters. The trek takes around 5 hours round trip, but the view from the top is well worth it. Make sure to carry enough water and snacks for the trek.
Visit the Soochipara Falls, also known as the Sentinel Rock Waterfalls. The waterfalls cascade down from a height of 200 meters, surrounded by lush green forest. Take a dip in the natural pool at the bottom of the falls.
If you have more time, you can also visit the Banasura Sagar Dam or the Edakkal Caves. For a shorter trek, the Neelimala View Point offers a beautiful view of the surrounding hills. If you have less time, you can skip the Chembra Peak trek and visit the Thirunelli Temple instead.
