Chembra
peak: Trekking to the Chembra peak is one of the thoughest
tourist endeavours. Chembra peak is the highest peak in
Wayanad at 2100m. above mean sea level. It is14 kms. west
of Kalpetta. Trekking to the top of this peak takes almost
a day. Tourists can also stay one or two days at the top
of the peak in temporary camps. (Please let us know if
you would like to camp here in advance so that we can
make necessary arrangements for sleeping bags, canvass
huts and permission from forest department and District
Tourism Promotion Council) The scenic beauty of Wayanad
which is visible from the top of Chembra is very challenging
and thrilling. The blue eyed water in the lake at the
top of the hill never dries up even in the peak of summer.
All along the steep and slippery way to the top of the
hill, the whispering of the flowing spring which sprouts
from the top of the hill accompanies the tourist. If he
is fortunate enough, on his way he may come across a passing
wild beast, may be a leopard who may instantly hide behind
the bushes. Camping in the night with camp fire and sleeping
bags at the top of the peak in shivering cold is everlasting
experience. Only for die hard trekkers.
