Lakkidi View Point

Lakkidi View Point sits near the crest of the Thamarassery Ghat and is one of the classic arrival viewpoints for travellers entering Wayanad district from the Kozhikode side of Keralam. Keralam Tourism describes Lakkidi as the gateway to Wayanad, reached after a mountain road with nine hairpin bends and surrounded by lush hills, gorges and streams. The viewpoint gives visitors a broad look across the cliffs and valleys below, making the dramatic change from the coastal lowlands to the Wayanad highlands easy to appreciate.

Mist, cloud and monsoon conditions can transform the view quickly, while clearer periods reveal the layered terrain of the Western Ghats. Because it is a roadside scenic stop rather than a long trek, Lakkidi View Point fits easily into trips to Vythiri, Pookode and nearby attractions. Visitors should use designated safe areas and take extra care around traffic and wet surfaces.
