Lakkidi

Lakkidi known as the gateway of Wayanad, is situated 700 m above sea level, at the crest of the Thamaraserri ghat pass.

This hill station is one of the highest locations in Wayanad and it registers the second highest rainfall in the world. With a clutch of mostly upscale resorts and planatation stays, catering to well heeled Metropolitan Indians and foreigners, it is fast emerging as a popular hill retreat.

The Pokkot lake, the Edakkal caves with its ancient carvings and Wayanad wildlife sanctuary are near Lakkidi.
