Accessible only after attaining permission from the forest officials, trekking through it to the dense forest is immensely exciting.

Open on all days, there is a heart-shaped lake atop it, called Hrudaya Thadakam which has never ever dried up even in the worst droughts. A minimum of three hours is required to reach atop Chembra peak. However overnight camping is prohibited by the Forest Department Officials owing to dangerous wildlife threats lurking here. The breathtaking view of Wayanad as well as the nearby districts comprising of Kozhikkode, Malappuram and Nilgiri is a delight to watch.
