Places

Thusharagiri Falls

Thusharagiri Falls is a waterfall located in Kozhikode district in the Indian state of Kerala, India. Two streams originating from the Western Ghats meet here to form the Chalippuzha River. The river diverges into three waterfalls creating a snowy spray, which gives the name, 'Thusharagiri' a word which means the snow-capped mountain. Of the three waterfalls, the highest is the Thenpara, falling from an altitude of 75 metres (246 ft). The other two are the Erattumukku falls and Mazhavil Chattam falls.

Hill Stations

Lakkidi

Hill station 700 m above sea level, at Thamarasseri Ghat pass. The view of the valley is superb. It can get a bit busy (and littered!) during peak season, though.

Hill Stations

Padinjarathara

Famous for Bansura mini hydro project with the largest earth dam in India, and with a sanctuary and park with ever flowering trees.

Hill Stations

Pookote Lake

It is a natural fresh water lake, brimmed with ever green mountains. The weather here is salacious; the scenic beauty, hypnotising and the nature, unspoiled. Pookode lake tourist resort in Vythiri is the most sought after tourist spot of Wayanad. There is an aquarium and a green house here. Boating facilities also are available.

Hill Stations

Banasura Dam

Considered to be the second largest earth dam in Asia, the Banasura project precincts are an ideal starting point for treks to the Banasura Peak. An interesting feature is a set of islands that were formed when the reservoir submerged the surrounding areas. Speed boating facility is available in this place.
