Chembra
hill
situated
at
Wayanad
stands
2100
m
above
sea
level,
it
is
the
highest
peak
in
Wayanad
district
and
is
one
of
the
best
trekking
spots.
The
mountain
and
the
surrounding
area
is
lush
green
and
a
treat
to
nature
lovers.
I
love
trekking
and
this
was
one
of
my
favourite
for
many
reasons.
Hiked
the
mountain
few
years
back
with
my
father,
a
sudden
decision
to
travel
to
Wayanad
and
on
our
way
we
did
not
know
if
we
could
even
go
up
the
beautiful
mountain.
Dad
and
I
haven't
hiked
together
since
and
so
it
makes
it
special.
The
mountain
has
exotic
and
rare
species
of
flora
and
fauna
and
tall
grass
all
the
way
up
on
the
trail.
The
climb
to
the
top
is
with
the
help
of
guides
and
since
they
are
from
the
area,
they
guided
us
to
the
top
safely.
There
weren't
many
people
when
we
hiked,
so
it
was
peaceful
and
the
guides
were
free
to
show
us
around.
They
showed
us
the
whole
of
Wayanad
from
the
top
and
it
was
mesmerising
and
beautiful.
There
is
a
bit
of
off
roading
at
first
to
reach
the
office
where
the
entry
fee
has
to
be
paid
and
to
the
parking
area.
There
is
no
road
as
such
and
the
path
has
rocks
all
over,
so
make
sure
you
drive
slow
and
not
damage
your
vehicle.
I
am
not
sure
if
the
road
is
better
now!
After
you
reach
the
parking
area,
you
need
to
walk
for
15-20
minutes
through
a
tea
estate
to
reach
the
foothill
where
the
climb
begins.
The
walk
is
really
beautiful
and
a
treat
for
photographers
and
nature
lovers.
Once
you
reach
the
foothill,
there
is
a
two
storey
watch
tower,
with
a
decent
view.
From
this
point
we
are
assigned
to
a
guide
and
we
start
the
climb.
It
is
a
good
climb
to
the
top
and
best
way
to
the
top
is
not
to
rush
yourself,
keep
a
steady
pace
with
frequent
breaks.
All
they
way
to
the
top
you
will
see
natural
springs
and
do
make
sure
you
take
water
with
you
and
more
importantly
don't
throw
plastic
bottles
that
you
carry.
It
is
a
non
smoking
area,
since
forest
fires
are
very
common,
please
avoid
smoking.
As
you
start
climbing
to
the
top,
the
view
gets
better
and
better.
The
best
spot
up
top
is
the
heart
shaped
pond
which
is
one
of
a
kind.
Even
though
we
are
allowed
to
hike
to
the
top
of
chembra,
we
do
not
really
go
to
the
top
most
point.
We
are
only
allowed
to
climb
up
to
certain
point
and
you
can
see
that
the
top
point
of
the
chembra
peak
is
even
further
up
and
is
inaccessible
to
people
as
it
is
dangerous.
Near
to
the
lake
we
spotted
an
animal
skulls
too,
you
can
see
it
in
the
pictures
uploaded.
We
were
told
that
the
pond
was
used
by
animals.
Even
though
we
forgot
to
carry
water,
the
guides
got
us
water
from
a
natural
stream
and
it
was
the
best
water
I
ever
had.
We
were
asked
not
to
follow
the
guides
to
the
stream
as
the
path
was
dangerous
and
they
din't
want
people
to
go
there.
Had
a
great
time
with
dad,
made
few
new
friends
and
after
few
hours
of
peaceful
time
with
nature,
enjoying
the
cool
breeze
and
a
few
snaps
from
top
we
slowly
trekked
down
the
mountain
and
drove
back
home.
