My TripAdvisor Review No.414: Pookot Lake, Vythiri, Wayanad, Kerala.

Pretty Lake with Boating Facilities.

Pookot Lake, also known as Pookode Lake, is a very pretty fresh water lake just 3 km from Vythiri village in Wayanad. There are boating facilities available at the lake. Row boats can be hired for ₹350 for half an hour, and pedal boats for ₹200 (4 seater), and ₹100 (2 seater) for 20 minutes. There is also a nicely wooded walking track encircling the lake. Snacks and souvenirs can be bought from the shops at the entrance.

We had to park our car in the paid parking lot (₹30), from where we had to walk half a kilometre to the entrance gate of the lake garden. Entry charges are ₹20 per head, and still camera charges are also ₹20, which is ridiculous, as there are no charges for phone cameras.

We spent about half an hour taking a stroll around the lake beneath the shady trees. There were some flowers on the lake surface, making it look like a pink carpet covering the lake. It was cool and serene, as there was not much of a crowd on the weekday morning. We bought some souvenirs from the curio shop and enjoyed a hot cup of Kerala filter coffee.
