2-Day Adventure Itinerary in Wayanad for June 2023

  1. Day 1: Chembra Peak
    40 minutes (12.1 miles) from Kalpetta

    Begin your adventure by hiking up to the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad. During June, the weather is pleasant, and the trek offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and valleys. At the summit, you'll find a heart-shaped lake that's perfect for a quick dip. The trek is a bit strenuous, and it's recommended to start early in the morning, as it takes around 3-4 hours to complete. Make sure to carry enough water and snacks for the journey.

  2. Day 1: Banasura Sagar Dam
    50 minutes (16.8 miles) from Chembra Peak

    After the trek, unwind in the serene surroundings of Banasura Sagar Dam, the largest earthen dam in India. You can take a boat ride on the dam's waters or simply enjoy the scenic views. The dam is surrounded by lush green forests, making it an ideal spot for nature walks and bird watching.

  3. Day 2: Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary
    1 hour 15 minutes (32.6 miles) from Banasura Sagar Dam

    Embark on a wildlife safari at the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, home to tigers, elephants, leopards, and many other exotic species. The sanctuary offers jeep and elephant safaris, and you can also take a trek to the Chethalayam Waterfalls. The sanctuary is closed in June, so you can visit the Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary, which offers similar experiences.

  4. Day 2: Meenmutty Falls
    45 minutes (13.5 miles) from Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary/Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary

    End your adventure with a visit to the Meenmutty Falls, a three-tiered waterfall surrounded by dense forests.
