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.

Devang's 7 days trip to Wayanad

Most of every thing went well except two properties, one at Munar and one boat house. At Munar, one room doesn't have full service. For Boathouse, wrong boat (2 room boat instead of 3 room boat) has been offered and after number of debate, boat has been changed

Shashank Shrivastava

Bangalore

Shashank's 6 days trip to Wayanad

We had the absolute pleasure of having Ajju as our driver during our Kerala trip, and honestly, he was much more than just a driver—he was the backbone of our entire experience. From day one, Ajju was incredibly friendly, warm, and approachable. What truly stood out was how extremely accommodating

he was with all our ad hoc requests—whether it was sudden stops, changes in plans, or exploring offbeat places, he handled everything with patience and a smile. In trips like these, drivers often become your de facto guides, and Ajju excelled in that role. His knowledge, conduct, and genuinely good nature made every journey comfortable and enjoyable. He ensured we always felt safe, relaxed, and well taken care of. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and sincere in their work. Ajju didn’t just drive us around—he truly made our trip memorable. Thank you, Ajju, for such an awesome and unforgettable experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion on this journey!

Jhunoo's 3 days trip to Wayanad

The overall experience was great. The stay was comfortable and beautiful. The driver took us to places that were in the itinerary. There was an issue with the drivers working hours, there was a day, when we wrapped up everything before 7, n we had ample amount of time, which could have been utilized

, but since the driver didn't want to go, we did not go out.

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.
