How to Reach for Chembra Peak Trekking in Wayanad

Tucked right in between the Nilgiri hills of Tamil Nadu and the Vallarimala in Kozhikode, Chembra peak offers some spectacular views. This guide will help you understand how to reach the Chembra Peak of Wayanad, and where to enjoy Chembra peak trekking. The nearest railway station is Kozhikode which is 79 km away. If you are flying in, the nearest airport is the Calicut International Airport which is 92 km away. From Kozhikode, there are several buses by both government and private operators that can take you to Kalpetta which is about 13 km. From here you will need to take another bus to take you to Meppadi which is 7 km from the base. Alternatively you can also hire a taxi to take you directly to the base of the trek which begins at the tea gardens. For those wondering how to reach chembra peak by car, make sure to have a map or your GPS ready, although it is a fairly straight road. If you want to park your vehicle at the base of the trek, you will be charged INR 20. It is a good idea to go to chembra peak by car, since you can reach right at the base of it.

If you reach after 2 pm, you will be denied entry. The total trekking distance will be about 3.5 km one way. It is ideally a one-day trek but with the permission of the forest department you can also go for a two-day trek and explore the fauna of the region.

Since the forest department has an absolutely no littering policy, you are not allowed to carry plastic bottles or food on the trek. If you do you will be charged at INR 100 per bottle. After you come back from your trek the forest officers will take the count of the bottles again and refund your deposit. Before you start the trek you will also need to take a VSS guide to accompany you. Guide charges stand at INR 150.

The first 300 meters is pretty much a straight walk through tea estates and then there is a steep ascent through grasslands, forests, water bodies and serene landscapes which gives you a chance to revel in the natural wealth and biodiversity of the region. Because of the steep climb it is advisable not to go during monsoons although the forest does remain open throughout the year. The slushy trail coupled with the poor visibility can sometimes be a formula for quite a few slips or worse if you are not a seasoned trekker.

It will take you approximately 3-4 hours to reach the top of the peak. Trekking down will take you about half an hour to a maximum of 45 minutes. Camping here is not allowed as there is the danger of lurking wild animals and because of the sensitive ecology. Chembra peak wayanad trekking is a must do when here.

Alok Mohan

Bangalore

Alok's 4 days trip to Wayanad

We booked Varkala-Trivandrum trip with For you travels and it was good trip. From the very first inquiry, kiran, representative of For you travels, was quite responsive and supportive, making the planning process easy. The itinerary finally agreed was post in dept discussion with scope of minor chan

ges during the trip. Itinerary was perfectly balanced. The guide cum Cab allocated was very supportive ensuring we visit all the major sights while still having time to relax and explore at our own pace.

Raju's 6 days trip to Wayanad

After booking, Mr Alan said to me that room category is not available and upgraded to new room with high price. I agreed to pay extra amount, However, when I was in hotel, it was not upgraded, it was downgraded with high price. I was cheated here. After booking, It in not my problem but you behaved

unprofessionally. You charged me extra amount after booking that is very unprofessional. 2. For rest amount to pay no communication by Alan & message sent for paying when I was in flight. After landed to Trivandrum and on-boarded in taxi, You welcome me in Kerala like you and your system like terrorist group and rush to all payment in minutes otherwise taxi will be parked on highway and will not move till the payment. It was a pathetical behavior I ever seen from professionals.

Testimonial for 'Book It Forget It' & TravelTriangle "The overall trip planning and support from 'Book It Forget It' was awesome, especially the service from Sahil Vij. He was incredibly responsive and took quick action on my last-minute request to arrange a new houseboat with a bigger bed to comfor

tably accommodate our family. The booking process through TravelTriangle was also fantastic; Soujanya Rai and Neha helped us finalize great options and supported us well throughout. I highly appreciate the 3-installment payment option—it really builds trust between the customer and the agency. The payment flexibility extended to our cab service as well, and our driver was a genuinely good person who was always ready to help with our luggage. Thank you for the great support!" Best Memories of the Trip The Houseboat Experience: Cruising for a full day on the Kerala backwaters was incredible. We enjoyed the ride immensely, and the larger bed accommodated our family of four perfectly. Chef Bino's Cooking: The food on the houseboat was an absolute highlight! Chef Bino was fantastic and truly made our day by cooking awesome, high-quality meals for us. Cliffside Views in Varkala: We enjoyed a lot of our time in Varkala, especially staying at the Wood House Beach Resort right on the cliff side. The views and the atmosphere there were unforgettable.
