Start your adventure by climbing the highest peak in Wayanad, the Chembra Peak. The climb takes around 3-4 hours, but the view from the top is worth the effort. In the morning, trek through the tea plantations and grasslands. The route is steep, but there are plenty of stops for photos and rest. In the afternoon, start the climb to the heart-shaped lake and enjoy the stunning view from the top. In the evening, head back down and explore the nearby Soochipara Falls, where you can take a refreshing dip in the cool water.
Start your second day with a visit to the Banasura Sagar Dam, India's largest earthen dam. You can enjoy a speed boat ride or kayak through the dam's reservoir. In the morning, explore the lush green surroundings and take a walk through the nearby tribal village. In the afternoon, visit the nearby Meenmutty Falls, which is a three-tiered waterfall where you can take a dip in the rock pools. In the evening, head back to Kalpetta, and enjoy some local cuisine.
If you have more time in Wayanad, you can visit the Edakkal Caves, a prehistoric site with ancient carvings. You can also take an early morning safari at the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can spot elephants, tigers, and leopards. Side trips to nearby destinations like Coorg or Ooty are also great options. To maximize your fun and adventure, hire a bike or jeep and explore the scenic routes of Wayanad. Don't forget to pack sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and comfortable shoes.
