Lakkidi View Point

View point from the road, and extra lane to park vehicle without causing much obstacle provided people just park there and not on the other side. Good view from the point. A good 5 minute stop if you are along the way or stopping over.

A very beautiful place where you can see the rain falling.. a place that calms the mind.. Here the vehicles are parked on the road side causing difficulties for the passengers. Although there is a no parking sign, vehicles are parked under it. Tourists are requested to park their vehicles on the Wayanad side and watch the view point

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.

For the best sunrise experience amidst the enchanting misty ambiance, Lakkidi Viewpoint is the ultimate destination. As the sun gracefully rises above the lush greenery, enveloped in the tranquil embrace of morning fog, it creates a mesmerizing spectacle that captivates the soul. This picturesque location offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness nature's beauty at its finest, making it a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a serene and magical sunrise experience.

The view is amazing but please ensure that you visit in the right season. The summer heat can give you a sun stroke. Be very careful while stepping out so that you don't get in the way of oncoming vehicles.

It is one of the best view point surrounded beautiful greenery. Police don’t allow parking here. You need to park your car near Wilton restaurant which is around 500 meters away. It is better to visit in the evening

It was a wonderful view point with beautiful greenery all around this point. Parking space was difficult from this viewpoint due to limited parking space and the majority of people parking along the road, which is quite risky. You can spend up to maximum half an hour at this point to relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery.
