Wayanad’s Highest Summit & The Fabled Heart-Shaped Lake
Chembra Peak rises to approximately 2,100 metres above sea level near Meppadi, offering one of Kerala’s celebrated trekking experiences through tea estates and montane grasslands to a perennial heart-shaped lake.
The trek begins from the forest office near Meppadi amidst verdant tea estates. The initial ascent is moderately steep, transitioning from plantation tracks to rough stone and earth pathways through shola forest patches and open high-altitude grasslands. The trail brings you to the famous heart-shaped lake, believed by locals never to dry up, framed by dramatic clouds and rolling peaks.
