Incredible views of the Hills and the Highway from the Top !!!

The Lakkidi viewpoint is a small viewpoint conducted just outside the main entrance gate of the Wayanad district on the main highway. The railings are high enough for safety, so you can get close to the edge.

And just as a viewpoint, the views from here are truly beyond imagination. You can get the entire expanse of the mountains disappearing into the skyline in the distance. In the midst of the green carpet, we can also see the various small towns and villages that adorn the highway as it glides between the forest. Even during the day we could see the cars moving like tiny ants reflecting off the sun. At night, there are tiny diamonds shining along the way due to the presence of villages and streetlights.

However, it tends to get too hot during the day, especially in the summer in April and May, so it is better to carry some kind of cap to protect yourself. But the best season to visit this place would be during the rain. The views would be incredible seeing the rains falling over the lush green mountains and the clouds descending over the peaks. It is nearest to the central city of Kalpetta and thus quite reachable. But when you are in Wayanad, this is a place you should never miss. Absolutely breathtaking and mesmerizing views while feeling the cool breeze flow through you.
