Start your trip with a refreshing dip in the Thusharagiri Waterfalls. The cascading waterfalls surrounded by lush green forests are a sight to behold. You can trek to the top of the waterfall, which is a bit of a challenge but worth it for the stunning panoramic views. The trek takes around 2 hours and covers a distance of 7 km. There are also plenty of local food stalls selling delicious snacks around the area.
On day two, head to the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. The trek to the top takes around 3-4 hours and covers 9 km, but the scenic beauty of the mountains and the heart-shaped lake atop the peak make it all worth it. Make sure you get a permit from the forest office before you start the trek. You can also enjoy a picnic lunch on the way up the mountain.
On your last day, visit the Banasura Sagar Dam, the second-largest earth dam in Asia. The dam is located amidst the scenic Banasura Hills and is surrounded by beautiful forests. You can enjoy a boat ride on the lake or go trekking on the hills. There are also plenty of restaurants serving delicious local cuisine around the area.
If you have more time, you can consider adding a visit to the Edakkal Caves, which are ancient caves with prehistoric carvings. If you have less time, you can skip Chembra Peak and spend more time exploring the local markets and food stalls. It's advisable to carry comfortable trekking shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent while trekking. Also, carry enough cash as many places do not accept cards.
