Wayanad, Kerala
Wayanad's best-known trek, centred on a naturally heart-shaped lake partway up the peak — worth checking current summit access before planning around it.
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
Kerala's second-highest peak and one of its most botanically significant trails, open to trekkers for only a few months a year.
Munnar, Kerala
Kerala's second-highest peak, a rolling grassland and shola trek near Munnar's tea estates, quieter than the more famous Anamudi.
Idukki, Kerala
Gentle rolling grasslands and pine forest near Kerala's tea and cardamom country — a light, scenic day trek rather than a demanding one.
Munnar-Theni border, Kerala/Tamil Nadu
A walk to the world's highest organic tea plantation, straddling the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border with sunrise views over the Western Ghats.
Eravikulam National Park, Kerala
South India's highest peak, inside a national park famous for the endangered Nilgiri Tahr — one of the most tightly access-controlled treks in this record.
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
A gentle hill-station trek through tea and cardamom country in Kerala's southern Western Ghats, less crowded than Munnar.
Palakkad, Kerala
One of the last untouched tracts of tropical evergreen rainforest in the Western Ghats, saved from a hydroelectric project by a landmark 1970s-80s conservation movement — access remains deliberately restricted to protect it.
Wayanad, Kerala
The second-highest peak in Wayanad, named for a demon king in Hindu mythology, overlooking India's largest earthen dam.
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
A lesser-known wildlife sanctuary near Agasthyakoodam's approach zone, offering guided forest walks focused on birding and wildlife rather than summit trekking.
