The guide
About Lakkidi View Point
Lakkidi is the gateway to Wayanad, at the top of the Thamarassery ghat pass and about 700 m above sea level. It is one of the highest and wettest places in the district, and the viewpoint looks out over the valley below.
The ghat road winds up through misty forest, and the viewpoint is a natural stop on the way in or out of Wayanad. Chain Tree, Pookode Lake and Vythiri are all within a few kilometres.
Local tips
- Clear mornings give the best views
- The viewpoint is a quick stop on the ghat road, not a full-day outing
- Combine with Pookode Lake and Chain Tree
- Carry a light jacket - it is cool and windy
