Sheer Drop from High Range.
Lakkidi View Point is a place on the Kozhikode Bangalore Highway (NH-766, earlier NH-212) from where we can get a bird’s eye view of the plains below, from the high ranges of Wayanad. It is about 7 km drive from Vythiri village.
We drove down from Vythiri, and just after crossing the town of Lakkidi we exited the district of Wayanad in Kerala. There is a narrow parking area by the side of the highway from where we could see the sheer drop down to the coast of Kerala. From this point we got a panoramic view of the valley below, with the serpentine road winding down the mountainside like a coiled snake. A few kilometres below we could see the vehicles wending their way up through the Wayanad Churam and Thamarassery Churam (mountain passes).
Many people stop by at this point just to admire the sheer beauty of the scenery unfolding before them, and to take some pictures. On a cloudy day the atmosphere may become hazy, making it difficult to see much, but one can still enjoy the rising mists and moisture laden breeze. During the monsoons one can also enjoy the many waterfalls trickling down the hillsides.
