Chembra Peak, Kerala, Wayanad

Chembra peak is situated near Meppady town and it is about 17 km from Kalpetta. It is the tallest peak in the region and a trek to the 6890 ft (2100 m above MSL) peak is a challenge that is difficult to resist for  an adventure tourist. There is a heart shaped lake on the way to the top of the peak, which is believed to have never dried up, is a major tourist attraction here.

The peak is visible from almost all parts of Wayanad. This place is an ideal destination for trekking activities.
