Lakkidi View Point
ലക്കിടി വ്യൂ പോയിന്റ്
The gateway to Wayanad at the top of the Thamarassery Pass, overlooking the nine-hairpin mountain road and the deep valleys of the Western Ghats.
The Thamarassery Pass climbs from the Kozhikode side through nine hairpin bends, and Lakkidi sits at the summit. It is one of the wettest places in Kerala, with clouds rolling through year-round. From the roadside lookout you can see the winding road and green valleys below. Nearby is the “chain tree,” linked to a local legend about the building of the road. The viewpoint is free, and roadside parking is enough. Traffic is heavy on weekends, so watch out for passing vehicles and monkeys that snatch food.
