Standing tall at 2100 m, the Chembra Peak is the highest peak in Wayanad, and a favorite trekking spot. It is part of the Western Ghats. The trek to the top can take up to 2 hours. The heart-shaped lake on the peak forms one of the attractions for the mountain trek here. To do the trek, you need to pay an entrance fee from the entry guard house near Meppadi. Typically, start the trek in the morning as you are not allowed to start the trek after noon. If you are not game for a hectic 2-hour trek, you can still do a flat trek till a nearby viewpoint and visitors center for a nominal fee. The Chembra Peak area has a variety of orchids and other flowering plants, and plenty of bird species, making the trek an enjoyable experience. Good toilets are available near the guard house. The road leading to the entrance was in bad condition as of October 2017.

Vavul Mala is a peak in the Western Ghats in the Vellarimala range. It towers to a height of 2,339m. The peak is accessible via an 11 km-long trek. The trek route passes through multi-tiered forest canopies that often completely hide the sky.

Lakkidi View Point is a highly popular roadside vantage area known as the "Gateway to Wayanad," perched at an elevation of 700 metres above sea level at the crest of the Thamarassery Ghat Pass. It provides a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the winding, serpentine highway featuring nine sharp hairpin bends cuts through lush green valleys and steep mountain cliffs.

Attamala View Point, often called the "Gavi of Wayanad" or Love Valley, is a breathtaking viewpoint known for its misty 360-degree panoramic views of deep valleys, rolling hills, and sprawling tea plantations. This spot is highly famous for hosting India's First Digital Glass Bridge.

Very scenic.

Pookode is a scenic lake spread over 13 acres and surrounded by greenery, with boating facilities. The Panamaram river originates from this lake. Blue lotus, lillies and many fresh water fish species can be sighted along the way. A rare species of fish named Pethia Pookodensis is said to be exclusively found here. A calm walk around the lake can also be done. Be safe while walking, as there are leeches along the way, so preferably wear shoes and take salt with you. There are good snack and souvenir stalls near the entrance. Monkeys can be a nuisance near the entrance, so be careful.

Spectacular three tiered waterfalls in Vellarimala, surrounded by dense equatorial forest vegetation. Soochipara means 'Needle-like rock'. The 15-20 min drive from Meppadi offers scenic views of some of the best tea estates in Wayanad. The waterfalls are 200 m (656 ft) and offer a cliff face that is ideal for rock climbing. The waterfalls are a bit crowded at times. 32 lady volunteers of the VSS control the visitors. After the entrance, a walkway leads to a beautiful viewpoint. From here, approximately 200 steps lead down to the falls. The trek takes approximately 30 minutes, and sometimes requires negotiating boulder steps. The view of the falls is worth the trek. There is generally a guard posted near the falls. The climb back can be hectic. Soochippara falls is appreciably a plastic-free zone, so the entry guards will ask you to store your plastic bags at the guardhouse and reclaim it when you return. Plenty of eating and souvenir-shopping options are available near the entrance.

The name literally translates to "mist-capped peaks", the name perfectly captures the ethereal silvery mist formed by water splashing down the rocky slopes. The waterfall originates from the Chalippuzha River, which is formed by two mountain streams, and divides into three beautiful cascading tiers
