Cheengeri Hills | Top tourist destinations to visit in Wayanad | Mountain Climb

Cheengeri Mala/Hills is located close to Ambalavayal, about 13 kms from Sulthan Bathery. It is an emerging tourist spot in Wayanad. We made a trip to watch the sunrise, which, unfortunately, we could not see due to foggy weather conditions. However, the climb was an adventure of a lifetime - steep, arduous, tiring, and exhilarating, to say the least.

It offers some fabulous views of the horizon, including the famous Karapuzha river, which runs across the vast expanse, as far as the eye can see. The climb itself can be classified into three stages or parts: the steep ascent from the Cheengeri Bhagavathy temple, the camping spot, and the ultimate summit, which, to us, appeared to be the roof of the world!

During the climb, we spotted a few campers who had pitched tents and stayed overnight, something which we hope to do soon. We also spotted a lot of litter and this dampened our spirits, considering how significant this place is and how important it is to ensure that it is not adversely affected by irresponsible human behaviour.

Cheengeri is a great place to plan an adventure trek. It is also easily accessible for people travelling from Bangalore, Ooty, and other places. No wonder then that it is turning to be a popular tourist attraction. With such commanding and breathtaking views and a great spot to catch the sunrise, it is a picture of serenity, like no other. And, we came back feeling lucky about having made it right to the top, standing at 1,062 metres above sea level.
