We just had a peak view as the trek to heart shaped lake was stopped in recent days :( Lush green with coconut, palm tress with coffee and tea plantations are blissful.

This is a sacred area for the Hindus, and the trek to this area starts from Thirunelli temple. We also had great birding in this area.

Kurumbalakotta

Reviewed By Syntni - Bengaluru, India

A breathtaking trip to the top of Kurumbalakotta for sun rise is an unique experience and a must visit place in Wayanad. You have to trek the last 2.5km or take a bumpy ride in a jeep.

Soochippara Falls (Sentinel Rock Waterfall)

Reviewed By malvikat2018 - Chandigarh, India

These waterfalls are a must visit if you are traveling to Wayanad. Start early if you want to visit these waterfalls since they are at quite a distance (roughly about 45 kms from where we were staying. We were staying at sultan Bathery). It closes at 5 pm. Also, it's a very long and a tedious walk to the waterfall which is nestled amidst the thick forest. For those of you suffering from any back or knee pain, I'd suggest to avoid this place. Especially the old people who find it difficult to walk. It involves a lot of walking and it's not an easy walk especially when you are coming back from the waterfall. It's quite steep and the strong sun drains the energy out of you. It's exhausting. But once you get there, you can relax, take photographs and chill in the water. For adventure seekers, you can also get drenched in the waterfall. Carry extra clothes in that case.
