Lakkidi

Lakkidi, the gateway to Wayanad , is situated 700 m above mean sea level, at the crest of the Thamarasseri Ghat pass (55 km east of Kozhikode/5 km south of vythiri). Lofty peaks, gurgling streams and luxuriant forests add magic to the journey up the winding roads to this hill station. Killikkurissimangalam at Lakkidi is the birthplace of Kunchan Nambiar, the 18th century satirist and exponent of the Tullal (classical art form). The poet's house has been preserved as a monument by the State Government
