Pookot Lake
Located 3 km south of Vythiri town, Pookkot lake is located at an
altitude of 2100 metres above sea level.
The Pookkot Lake is the only one
of its kind in Kerala, and sports a fresh water aquarium with numerous varieties
of fish. At 2100 metres above sea level the Pookkot Lake is a tourist's paradise.
Boating facilities, a children's park and a spices and handicrafts emporium add
to the attraction of the place.
Pookkot has some of the highest hill ranges
in the State in its Vythiri taluk (a taluk is a sub division of a district). Winding
hairpin bends and ridges make the journey up the ranges an exciting experience.
With vast stretches of tropical forests and hilly terrain as yet untainted by
civilization, Wayanad is also home to the largest number of tribal settlements
in Kerala.
