Cheengeri Hills, also known as Cheengeri Mala, is a captivating trekking destination in Wayanad, offering an adventurous yet accessible climb with breathtaking panoramic views. Unlike the densely forested trails of Wayanad's other peaks, Cheengeri Hills boasts an open granite pathway, making the ascent more enjoyable for trekkers of all levels. Located near Ambalavayal, the trail winds through rugged terrain and gentle slopes, culminating in a summit that offers an unparalleled vantage point of Wayanad's stunning landscapes.

One of the trek's highlights is the breathtaking view of Karapuzha Dam and its sprawling backwaters, which emerge into sight early in the climb. On clear days, trekkers are rewarded with distant views of Chembra Peak, Muttilmala, and even the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu. The trail is divided into two sections: a gradual climb from the base to a treehouse viewpoint, followed by a steeper ascent to the peak, where ropes assist climbers in navigating rocky outcrops. The experience is a blend of adventure, serenity, and natural beauty, making it a must-visit for both thrill-seekers and nature lovers.

Beyond trekking, Cheengeri Hills offers a tranquil retreat for those seeking solitude. The fresh mountain air, gentle breeze, and scenic surroundings make it an ideal spot for relaxation, meditation, or simply soaking in the grandeur of Wayanad's hills. Whether you're an avid trekker or a traveler looking for a scenic escape, Cheengeri Hills promises an unforgettable journey into nature's embrace.
