For The Hardcore Trekkers.
We could see the Banasura Hill from the Banasura Sagar Dam. It is the second highest peak in Wayanad, after Chembra Peak, and is part of the Western Ghats mountain range of India.
The Banasura Hill trek is a long excursion for the trekking enthusiast. First, permission has to be obtained from the North Wayanad Forest Division office located in the town of Mananthavady, about 25 km from Banasura. Treks start from near the Banasura Hill Resort, about 2.5 km from the dam. You will be accompanied by a guide, after paying a fee at the Forest Office.
The hill trek is quite strenuous and only young or experienced trekkers should attempt it. It can take about 8 to 9 hours to trek to the peak and back to base, and is best attempted in the winter months between November to February.
An added bonus of the trek is a chance to visit the thunderous waterfall along the way, which the locals call Meenmutty Falls.
