Book with the place itself. India’s cyber-crime coordination centre warned in April 2025 that convincing copies of hotel and pilgrimage booking sites are being pushed through sponsored search and social ads, taking payment for rooms the property never hears about. Use the contact and source details on each profile to confirm the exact business and booking channel. A directory entry or map pin alone does not establish an operator’s identity or current availability. Roampedia takes no commission and does not collect booking payments. If a booking page reached you through an ad, check the address bar against the property’s own site before you pay. Fraud can be reported on cybercrime.gov.in or on 1930.

viewpointLakkidi View Point

The railing at the top of the nine hairpins — the crest of the Thamarassery churam, where the Kozhikode plain drops away below and the cloud pours over the pass. Come early: the view is a morning creature, and by afternoon in season the mist can sit on the bends for the day. Watch the monkeys on the parapet.

backwaterPookode Lake

A perennial forest lake at about 770 metres, 2.4 km from Vythiri, said to mirror the map of India in outline and home to a small cyprinid fish recorded in no other water. Boating, a freshwater aquarium and a shore path make it the easiest family half-day on this side of the district.

heritageChain Tree

A ficus by the roadside at Lakkidi with a heavy chain run into its branches — the tree of the Karinthandan legend, the tribal guide the ghat road never credited, whose statue now stands beside it. A ten-minute stop that carries more of Wayanad’s history than most full attractions.

heritageEn Ooru Tribal Heritage Village

The tribal heritage village on a hillock at Pookode, opened in 2022 after a decade’s building — ten huts in the styles of Wayanad’s communities, a craft workshop and a market, run by residents who live there. Private cars stop at the veterinary-college gate; the site’s shared jeep does the last climb.

heritageUravu Bamboo Village

Thrikkaipetta, 21 km out via Kalpetta, where the URAVU study centre has built livelihoods on bamboo since 1996 — a working craft campus of nurseries, training and a workshop floor, not a show village. Go on a working morning and buy at the outlet; the sales are the model.
