Drive up to the Lakkdi view point (13.5 Kms)
2296 ft. (700 m) above the sea level, a young man's soul is bound to a Ficus tree, at a location which can only be accessed after navigating via nine harrowing hairpin turns. The endless spread here is beyond the imagination and words that most poets and writers can muster. The lush greenery of the hills, gorges and the streams seen on both sides of the passage up the hill are unforgettable. The Ficus tree on the road to Vythiri, with a huge chain around it, is what attracts a large chunk of the crowd. It is said that a tribal youth, Karinthandan, guided a British engineer in making way through Wayanad's forests. Once successful, however, the engineer decided that he did not wish to share this glory with his guide and killed the poor young man.
