Chembra Peak Trek: Permits, Timings & What to Pack

24 Aug 2026 · 6 min read

Trekker on a misty ridge in Wayanad

Chembra Peak is Wayanad's most loved trek, best known for the heart-shaped lake that sits midway up the trail.

Forest department passes are issued at the Meppadi office from 7:00 AM and slots are limited, so early starts matter — especially on weekends and long holidays.

Carry grippy shoes, two litres of water per person, a light rain layer and no single-use plastic. Our guides handle passes, transfers and packed breakfast for every Trippogo group.
