The extended mountain ranges of the Western Ghats are found in Kerala. Kerala is home to some of the tallest peaks in the Western Ghats. Trekking through these mountains has a different essence all in all. One such trekking experience you shouldn't pass up is the Banasura Hill Trek. The hill got its name after Banasura, one of the mythical characters in Indian folklore. Set up at a challenging altitude of 6,600 feet. The conical-shaped Banasura is the second-highest peak between Nilgiris and Banasura nestled in Wayanad, which beholds Chembra Peak and Pakshipathalam.
