About Lakkidi Viewpoint

Lakkidi Viewpoint sits at one of the highest points on the Wayanad ghat road. The land rises steeply and then drops toward the plains of Kozhikode.

The road below forms a series of hairpin bends that cut through forested slopes. Vehicles move slowly along these turns, making the route both scenic and challenging.

The area receives high rainfall, so mist and clouds often settle over the hills. This creates changing views throughout the day.

Located in Wayanad, the viewpoint is a common stop for travelers moving between the hills and the plains.
