Overview:

Trekking to the top of different high altitudes, and enjoying the panoramic view of the scenic beauty from atop is undeniably one of the most thrilling expeditions one can experience, and trekking through the night adds on to the thrill.
On the top of the southern tip of the Deccan Plateau lies the district of Wayanad, which is accessible via Kozhikode. The place is engulfed by astonishing scenic beauty, crawling with waterfalls, caves, and lush green wildlife reserves, which are homes to the leopards, elephants, bears, and others. Every bit of this trekking trip will be adventurous, supervised by the experts, but because of the night time, you have to keep an eye out for the wild beasts and creatures of the dark.
With the base camp set on the hilltop of Peedapara, you will be able to enjoy the serene beauty of the sunset from a high altitude.
Your trip to the Kozhikode and the Wayanad will be complimented by spending nights under the sky in a comfortable tent while gazing at the stars and with trekking through the night to get the majestic morning view from the top of a hill.
