Banasura Hill

We went after the rainy season.
There was greenery all around.
6 kms of one side trek.
Initial 2 km of trek goes through dense forest. It is a little steeper, after that it's easy.

Do carry liquid sanitizer spray, in case you get leeches on you!
Overall, it was a wonderful experience with breathtaking views.

Trek cost was a little pricer compared to treks in Karnataka.

Bansura Hill offers a breathtaking natural retreat. The lush greenery, diverse flora, and serene atmosphere make it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts. The trek to the summit is challenging but rewarding, providing stunning panoramic views. The highlight is Bansura Sagar Dam, nestled between hills, creating a picturesque setting. While basic amenities are available, it's advisable to pack essentials for a comfortable visit. Overall, Bansura Hill is a haven for those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature.

One of my most favourite trek❤ try visiting in monsoon.

It is a really beautiful place. We will feel trecking is till "thavala paara" (frog shaped rock), but the trekking starts after that. The mountain itself is beautiful, the view from the mountain is amazing. Trecking finishes at pond encircled by a thick forest. It is a must go place for one who loves trekking. The guide we had was really friendly.

Banasura Peak Trekking.

Wayanad is a paradise for trekkers, however one thing that makes Banasura Trek unique is the view of Banasura Dam. The ariel view of dam and its catchment area is stunning.

Kattukunnu is a small peak enroute. Trekkers can enjoy a closer view of the Dam and surroundings here. Once you climb up, this can be seen from a higher altitude.

Other than initial short stretch, the entire trail goes through grasslands.

Beware of leaches, especially in monsoon.

Banasura is one of the highest peaks in wayanad at an altitude of 2000M+.

Carry enough water and snacks.

Don't miss the Meenmutty falls, it's right behind the ticket counter.

Varambatta is the base, Padinjarathara is the nearby town where you can find accommodation, ATMs etc.

We enjoyed trekking have to take permission at forest department which is on the left hand side about 1km before reaching the parking area on the peak charges ₹300/- per person and guide fee of ₹400
Leeches are a bit of nuisance, if lucky can see elephants on the trek

Bhanasura hill
Second most highest peak in wayanad district. (Above 6000 ft from sea level )

The trekking starts from meen mutty waterfall . Tickets cost 2860 rs for 5 persons which includes guide fee also if any extra person with us we must pay 413 rs for each .

After finishing all procedures from ticket counter we can start the trekking with our guide .

( Try to reach the point as early as possible , normally trekking starts @9 am & need to carry enough water and food )

Kannan is our guide such a nice fellow ❤
We started @ 10 the trail through shola forest were little difficult due to leaches so taking salt is better to avoid leach bites. Apply little salt powder on leaches when it bites. After the forest the greenish meadows will begin, and we can see the mesmerizing views of bhanasura hills . A hut 🛖 made for resting. From there the trail become straight . At the end the trail split in to two one trail to bhanasura reservoir view and the other to the banasura peak. First go to dam view point and then to the peak .

We summited at the top most point of the peak .

Guide told us that we were the first team reached that point because it was that much difficult. If he lie or not our team is very happy to be there.

Thank to
Ajin bro , Abhijit bro ,Kannan bro & Immanual Ettan

I visited banasura hill it was a nice experience to me

I have visited here in 2011. It is the most beautiful trip in my life. In the 2 day trip we halted there a night. The view from the summit was really awesome.
I really want to visit here once again.

We gang of 15 members went for banasura trek @ forest officals took a ticket of 350 per person and arranged a guide for us we trekked for half since we are late to start trek and whike trekk3back guide took us for a falls which is more memorable and no other human found except us its so provate in forest . Beware of leeches .

It was a wonderful experience. We started the trek from the mèenmutty waterfall ticket counter. It cost about 400 rs per person. Its 12 km trek up and down. First 2 km is through shades so beware of leeches. We had sanitiser just in case . After the 2km u could see the mist kissed banasura hill in the distance. It would take around 5-6 hours for the trek. But the view and the crispy climate is out of the world.
