- The trek to Chembra Peak is regarded as the best trek the entire state of Kerala has to offer, and the offer is undoubtedly a great one. The District Tourism Promotion Council in conjunction with the South Wayanad Forest Development Agency has made necessary provisions to arrange for trekking to the enthralling peak.
- The foothill of the Chembra peak is surrounded by an extensive landscape of tea estates, and this is where the trek's starting point is. The climb continues for 1 km after which you arrive at a watchtower that gives you a preview of the Chembra peak and its surroundings. Another 2 km into the trek, you arrive at the heart-shaped lake- Hridayathadakam Lake. You can spend some time by this lake and enjoy the refreshing water. As you continue the trek from the lake, you will finally arrive at the Chembra Peak after the last 1 km. So all in all, it is a 4.5 km long climb each side and will take you between 3 and 4 hours each way.
- The difficulty level of the trek is moderate up till the second stage, which is up till the heart shaped lake. After this point till the peak, the difficulty is slightly higher because the trek becomes steeper.
- As you make your way through the forest, nature playfully blows gentle winds to revitalise and refresh you. The crackling of dry leaves under each footstep, the narrow shafts of sunlight making way through the thick branches, the playful chirping of birds and the faint sounds of beetles in the background will make you fall in love with the glorious nature all over again. Wading through the dense forests of Wayanad Hill Range and finding oneself in the midst of a pure and untouched environment is an experience of a lifetime.
