CHEMBRA PEAK
Kottappadi, Wayanad, Kerala, India
Located close to the bumbling town of Meppady and just 8 KM South of Kalpetta, stands the highest peak of the Wayanad Hill Range the Chembra Peak at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level. The Chembra peak offers a panoramic view of not only the entire Wayanad district but also a large chunk of Kozhikode, Malappuram and Niligiri districts. The peak is famous among trekkers for providing an excellent one day trekking experience which takes about three hours. On one's way to the peak, they are confronted with another gift of nature in the form of a heart shaped Lake which is believed to have never dried up and is a major tourist attraction here.
