Sayipu Hill Trekking (Travelogue) (Wayanad)
I will share mind-blowing experiences with one of the best trekking places in Kerala – Katumala, Sayip Hill Trekking –
A trip that was not planned at all. But when I came to know about this place, I decided to go on the very next Sunday. I got to know more about Katupara and Mt. Saip through social media, and the first hurdle of getting permission for trekking was done using the contact I got through social media before leaving. 5 The fee is 3110 for a group of five people. Two days before leaving, my dear friend told Rashidika about the trip. when heard that he was fully active, so me, Rashid, my other friends, Rageshetan, Prasadetan, and everyone else left Pattambi at 4 am for Wayanad. Vaithiri reached Meenmutti Water Falls ticket counter via Banasura Dam. When we reached Meenmutti waterfall ticket counter after buying breakfast and afternoon parcels from the hotel near Banasura Dam, our guide and another tour group were waiting for us there.
Plavin Chuvad : Plavin Chuvad is the first place we reach on the trekking route through Meenmutti Eco Tourism ticket counter, the beautiful forest and the sound of the nearby Meenmutti waterfall and we continued our journey with a little excitement, Atta is our main opponent there.
Saiipkunn: Deciding to reach the end of Katumala, we first went to Saiipkunn on the grassy road. The cool breeze, the Koda, and the view of Banasura Dam in the distance were all very enchanting… The climb to Saipin after the grassland was a bit difficult but after all that climbing it was quite an experience to be on top of the rock of Saipin hill. With light rain, wind, and fog.
Katukunn : This always windswept hill is about 1900+ meters above sea level. The view of Banasura Dam from the top of the hill is truly a beautiful sight. Similarly, Sayip hill can be seen from Katu hill. Just like Saip Hill, the beauty of this place is the grassland and small rocks. After seeing all the sights of Katu Kunn, we came back down and reached the ticket counter at exactly 4:30 p.m.
After trekking 16 km up and down the country, we decided to take in the beautiful views and decided to climb the mountain again. What made me most happy about this trip was that the Forest Department and other travelers are preparing to keep these mountains plastic-free. The plastic-free environment there is quite exemplary. Manu Ettan, the guide who was with us, and Joseph Sir, who provided all the facilities and permission for trekking, were very tourist-friendly hosts.
Joseph Sir’s number is given below for those who want to travel there.
