About Chembra Peak Trek, Wayanad:
Chembra Peak, located in the Wayanad District of Kerala, is one of the premier trekking destinations. Perfect for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike, its lush tea plantations, forests, grassy hills and abundance of wildlife make Chembra Peak an unforgettable trekking destination - home to wild animals such as exotic birds as well as butterflies and insects, which add beauty and tranquillity. One of the highlights of this trek is Hridaya Saras Lake, situated about halfway up the trail. Surrounded by lush greenery and beloved couples alike, its heart-shaped shape draws visitors in. Believed never to dry up even during the harshest summer months, reaching Hridaya Saras requires a moderately arduous trek, but it requires good stamina! Once you begin your trek, you will walk along a line of trees that gradually give way to grassy terrain and grass-covered pathways. While the terrain can be challenging at times, its rewarding views of surrounding hills will leave you breathless! At the peak, however, your journey should only take around two hours before being met by breathtaking sights that leave no one breathless! Chembra Peak is a protected forest area in Kerala, and the Kerala Forest Department has taken every measure possible to safeguard both its ecological and historical integrity. As an ecotourism destination, tourists are strongly encouraged to follow responsible tourism practices that help preserve its pristine condition as well as encourage biodiversity conservation. Furthermore, trekking regulations of this area must also be observed strictly and adhered to.

If you’re a fan of scenic treks, stunning views, and an adrenaline rush, the Chembra Peak Trek should be on your bucket list! Located in the Wayanad district of Kerala, this trek is one of the most popular hiking spots in South India. From the lush greenery of the Western Ghats to the famous heart-shaped lake, it’s an experience that combines nature, adventure, and a sense of accomplishment. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or a first-timer, the Chembra Peak has something to offer.
Chembra Peak is located near Meppady, about 8 kilometers from Kalpetta, the main town in Wayanad. Accessible by road, it is a short drive from both Kozhikode and Bangalore, making it a great option for weekend getaways. The nearest airport is Calicut International Airport, and from there, it’s a scenic drive to the base of the trek.
The ideal time to trek Chembra Peak is from October to February, when the weather is pleasant, and the views are at their best. Avoid trekking during the monsoon (June to September), as the trail can be slippery and dangerous.
Scenic Beauty: The Chembra Peak Trek offers a visual feast of verdant forests, rolling hills, and pristine landscapes. As you ascend, you’ll pass through thick plantations of tea and coffee, with occasional glimpses of local wildlife. The beauty of the trek lies in its diversity, with every corner offering a new panoramic view of the Western Ghats and the valleys below.
Unique Features (Heart-Shaped Lake): One of the standout features of this trek is the Heart-shaped lake located midway to the summit. This naturally occurring lake, surrounded by lush greenery, is often the highlight of the trek, making it a popular photo spot. The lake adds an almost magical quality to the trek and serves as a perfect rest point during your journey.
The Chembra Peak Trek is classified as a moderate trek, making it suitable for people with a reasonable level of fitness. The trail is well-marked, and you’ll find guides available to help you navigate the terrain.
Fitness Level Required: While you don’t need to be an expert hiker to complete this trek, a basic level of fitness is recommended. The trek involves a gradual ascent, but there are some steep sections, so make sure you’re comfortable walking for around 3 to 4 hours.
Duration and Distance: The trek covers a distance of 6 kilometers (round trip) and takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete. The climb is gradual, but the real challenge lies in the final stretch to the peak, which is a bit more strenuous.
Starting Point: The Entry Gate: The trek begins at a designated entry point where you’ll need to register and obtain permission (a small fee is charged). From here, a well-defined trail leads you through tea estates and tropical forests. The trail is mostly dirt and mud, so be prepared for some slipperiness, especially during the rainy season.
The Path and Landscape: As you move higher, the landscape changes, with sweeping views of the surrounding hills. The trail takes you through lush forests, coffee plantations, and grasslands, all of which provide great opportunities for photography and nature observation.
Reaching the Top: The final part of the trek is steep but manageable. Once you reach the top, the panoramic views of Wayanad and the surrounding valleys are worth the effort. You can even spot Pulpally, Sultan Bathery, and Bandipur from the summit.
Heart-Shaped Lake: Nature’s Wonder: This iconic lake is the highlight of the trek. The crystal-clear water of the heart-shaped lake, framed by lush green forests, offers an enchanting sight that makes this trek unique. The lake is not only a great spot for photos but also an excellent place to rest and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.
Panoramic Views of Wayanad: From the peak, you’re treated to sweeping views of the entire Wayanad region, including its mountains, valleys, and dense forests. The sheer size of the landscape will make you feel on top of the world.
Essentials to Carry
Water: Stay hydrated throughout the trek.
Snacks: Pack light snacks for energy.
Comfortable Footwear: A good pair of trekking shoes is essential.
Weather Gear: Depending on the season, carry a raincoat or light jacket.
Safety and Precautions
Stick to the trail and avoid wandering off.
Be cautious on steep sections, especially after rainfall.
Use sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun.
Local Guides and Support
Hiring a guide is optional, but it’s highly recommended for first-timers. They can help with directions, share insights about the local flora and fauna, and ensure your safety on the trail.
After a long day of trekking, you’ll want to relax and recharge. There are various homestays, resorts, and hotels around Kalpetta and Meppady, which offer comfortable accommodations. For those who prefer the outdoors, there are also opportunities for camping near the base of the peak.
While you’re in Wayanad, don’t miss the chance to visit nearby attractions:
Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary: A haven for wildlife enthusiasts.
Edakkal Caves: Famous for their ancient rock engravings.
Soochipara Waterfalls: A beautiful spot to unwind and enjoy nature.
The ideal months for trekking Chembra Peak are from October to February. During this period, the weather is cool and pleasant, perfect for a trek. The summer months can be hot, and trekking in the monsoon is not recommended due to the slippery trails.
You can book your trek either online or directly at the entry point. It’s advisable to book in advance during peak season. Make sure to carry your ID proof for registration. Additionally, remember that the trek is open from 7 AM to 3 PM, so plan accordingly.
