 lakkidi-view-point #Thamarassery Ghat
Thamarassery Ghat is along the national highway (NH 212) that connects Kozhikode with Wayanad. Since the road leads to Wayanad, this ghat pass is often called “Wayanad churam”.The ghat pass (“churam”) begins from Adivaram (downhills), while coming from Kozhikkode and ends at Lakkidi, the beginning of Wayanad district.
There is a view point at the top of the ghat pass just after the 9th hairpin and before reaching Lakkidi. You can stop at this place and enjoy the beautiful view of the serpentine roads through the hills.
#Meenmutty Waterfalls
The word Meenmutty, in Malayalam literally means the place where fish get blocked and is regarded as the largest waterfall in Wayanad. A 2km hike from the main Ooty road, this three-tiered waterfall with the height of 300 metres is a rare Wayanad tourist place that still remains untouched. Comfortable in its natural settings, Meenmutty waterfalls is the 2nd largest in Kerala. A separate hike through the moist dense forests leads one to each of the three tiers. This is a quiet and tiresome route that ends at a point with the most dreamy sights.

 Patwon-Ki-Haveli #Patwon ki Haveli
The Patwon ki Haveli is considered to be one of the most important Havelis of Jaisalmer because of two important things: it was the first Haveli to be ever built in Jaisalmer and it is a cluster of 5 different havelis making it one of the biggest Havelis. The other name given to this Haveli is the “mansion of brocade merchants” because the Patwa family used to deal in gold and silver.
Currently, the Haveli is taken care of by the Rajasthan government. The gateways and arches of this Haveli are also masterpieces. The entire Haveli is made of yellow sandstone and the main gateway of this Haveli is brow.
#Thar Desert
Camel Safari is a oldest & but the best way to explore the beauty of the Thar Desert in Jaisalmer. The starting point of the Jaisalmer Camel Safari is the Jaisalmer city. We would say that a tour to Jaisalmer is incomplete without a evening trip to the desert. The safari isn’t expensive and can be done on Camels {best option} and private taxi.In the safari one can easily spot Chinkaras a rear breed of dears, local villages who haven’t seen the signs of globalization. desert peacocks and a sunset which we can guarantee that you would have never seen. Then in the night we will have a nice dinner at a desert camp and will even stay there for the night. Desert camps are amazing as they will arrange Rajasthani mujra, puppet show and other entertainment programs for you.
