Start your Wayanad adventure with a thrilling trek to the Chembra Peak, the highest peak in Wayanad, with an elevation of 2,100 meters above sea level. The trek takes around 3-4 hours to reach the peak, and the panoramic views from the top are breathtaking. Don't miss the heart-shaped lake en route to the peak, which is a popular spot for photography. Carry enough water and snacks for the trek, and wear comfortable shoes and clothing. This trek is only open for half of May, so make sure to check the dates before planning your visit.
Get ready for another adventure-packed day with a trip to Meenmutty Falls, one of the largest and most scenic waterfalls in Wayanad. The 2 km trek to the falls is moderately challenging, but the stunning views and refreshing swim in the pool at the bottom of the falls make it all worthwhile. The falls are at their best during monsoon season, but May is also a good time to visit. Carry a change of clothes and towels, and wear sturdy shoes for the trek.
End your Wayanad adventure with a visit to Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna such as elephants, tigers, leopards, and numerous species of birds and butterflies. Take a guided jeep safari to explore the sanctuary and spot the wildlife in their natural habitat. The safari lasts around 2-3 hours and is open from 7:00 am to 9:30 am and 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. May is a good time to visit as the weather is pleasant and the wildlife is active. Don't forget to carry your camera and binoculars!
