    Beautiful ride through the beauty of the Western Ghats. It's really busy during the weekends and holidays. Plan your travel time accordingly, otherwise it's going to be a hectic draining ride. Also carry enough food and water with you, so that even if a traffic block occurs out of the blue, you will be sorted. Enjoy the drive. πŸ’―πŸ™ŒπŸ»

    Thamarassery Churam Viewpoint: A Journey Through Cloud-Kissed Heights High amidst the mystical mist-laden peaks lies a gem of nature's grandeur – the Thamarassery Churam Viewpoint. This celestial vantage point stands as a testament to the breathtaking beauty of the Western Ghats, offering an unforgettable journey through towering heights and cloud-kissed panoramas that stir the soul and ignite the imagination. The road leading to the Thamarassery Churam Viewpoint is an adventure in itself. Winding through verdant landscapes, it gradually ascends to reveal a world beyond the ordinary. As the vehicle climbs, the air turns cooler, cradling travelers in a sense of anticipation. The journey becomes a metaphor for life – each twist and turn an opportunity to savor the moment and embrace the unknown. Upon arrival, the view that unfolds is nothing short of spectacular. The vista stretches like a painting brought to life – rolling hills covered in emerald carpets, shrouded in mist that seems to dance to the rhythm of the wind. The valleys below are a quilt of shades, where patches of sun-kissed foliage meet shadows of evergreen forests. It's a landscape that evokes both awe and humility, a reminder of the vastness and beauty of our natural world. The Thamarassery Churam Viewpoint isn't just a platform for sightseeing; it's an invitation to commune with nature's elements. As the cool breeze rustles through the trees and the mist envelops the surroundings, it's easy to feel a deep connection with the earth and its rhythms. The cries of distant birds and the gentle murmurs of streams weave a symphony that harmonizes with the soul's innermost melodies. As the sun paints the sky with hues of orange and pink, the landscape transforms into a canvas of dreams. The clouds that once seemed distant now appear within reach, and the world takes on a surreal quality. It's a reminder that nature is an artist that never ceases to amaze, constantly reinventing itself with every passing moment. Thamarassery Churam Viewpoint isn't just about what can be seen; it's about what can be felt. The serenity of the place permeates the senses, creating a sanctuary for introspection and reflection. It's a reminder to slow down, to embrace the present, and to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. In this fast-paced world, the viewpoint offers a pause – a chance to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with the heart. As the day transitions to night, the Thamarassery Churam Viewpoint undergoes a metamorphosis. The sky transforms into a vast expanse of twinkling stars, and the horizon fades into obscurity. The stillness that descends is like a gentle lullaby, soothing the mind and inviting contemplation. Gathered around a bonfire, visitors share stories and laughter, forging connections that transcend time and place. The Thamarassery Churam Viewpoint isn't just a destination; it's an experience that lingers in the memory long after the journey is over. It's a reminder that the world is full of wonders waiting to be discovered, and that sometimes, the most beautiful views are the ones that touch the heart. It's an invitation to embrace the magic of the moment and to find solace in the embrace of nature's beauty. In a world that often feels fast and fleeting, this viewpoint stands as a testament to the enduring power of nature to inspire, uplift, and nourish the soul.

    A Goal set in 2013 when I bought the Seaoux cycle out of keen curiosity and an attempt to lead an active physical life with my new partner.. I told Mr Nidheesh the owner of Miracle cycles , where i bought my seaoux ..that I'm setting a Goal of climbing the 13kms wayanad churam after travelling a long windering road of 45 kms from Calicut to Adivram , the base . The path is really challenging with 9 hairpin bends and continuous upward gradient ranging from 20 to 70 degrees inclinations climb.. Looking at my body ..and habits ..he answered ..with. Smirk .." Anything is possible it's only about practise " A fantacy though at tht time..but a wish that always lingered in my mind every now and then It took 11 years to take it to the summit..as I needed a lot of training in short courses and a deal with lot of inconsistencies in between like" I did not touch the cycle for almost 5years ".Somewhere I lost my activity..but the wish was always in tact After a long gap ,in 2023 was the year that I connected through Strava and once again regained my active cycling..and of coz on 7th Sunday 2024 i reached the Vythiti, the summit and on the same day returned after a long 121kms journey.. The experience was nothing less than a realisation of hidden potential that any man has.. and how living on the extreme can take out the very best of you and make you do unbelievable things and to summarise lending from Adidas .. "Imposible is Nothing"

    Thamarassery Churam is a scenic and thrilling mountain pass that connects Wayanad with Kozhikode. The road is steep and winding, with hairpin bends and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Many travelers have described the drive through Thamarassery Churam as an exhilarating experience, but caution is advised as the road can be narrow and slippery during monsoon season. Overall, Thamarassery Churam is a must-visit destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers visiting Wayanad.

  • 4/5 Saju G. 2 years ago on Google
    This route is the climb from Calicut to Wayanad, the road condition is excellent and the twists and turns are enjoyable while driving uphill or downhill. The forest and hills provide a great view and as one climbs and descends it offers good view of town and places below from the peak. The lakkidi view point on the way is excellent place to stop by to click some photos and enjoy the greenery and view of the churam. If visiting Wayanad make sure to see it.

    The churam road is fully congested by the travelers. The place is highly risky to travel in bikes and prone to accidents. Even though, the view and experience at the place is worth the risk taken. The fog is the major villain which disturbed the view. The way passes through many smaller waterfalls and the scene is really beautiful. This is a never missed route in kerala for travellers.

  • 5/5 Chrisna J. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 26 reviews
    The cool breeze descending down the mountains wrapping you mither mist and fog amongst the lush green trees and slopy curves...you would feel heaven have have touched you. Road side chirps of birds, stopover at food stalls , monkeys to feed..oh God...it's a masterpiece of His art. Should travel by a bus rather than a car to feel the essence.

    Thamarassrry churam The British used to transport spices from Wayanad to Beypore Port, Kozhikode via the Kuttiadi route. Between 1700 and 1750, they searched for a new route which could reduce the distance. For which, they sought the help of Karinthandan Moopan (chief), a tribal leader from the Paniya tribe in Wayanad. The route via the Thamarassery ghat was found with the help of Karinthandan.It is believed that he was later shot to death.[1] It is also believed that Karinthandan's ghost haunted the travellers for a while until it was nailed to a tree by a wizard. The mysterious chain tree is situated about 58 km from this ghat

    The 14 km-long Thamarassery Churam (Mountain Pass) is the synapse that connects the realms of Wayanad to Kozhikode. It is a passage resplendent with steep turns and bends, along with some of the most picturesque visuals in Kerala.The green Ghats en route to Wayanad hasΒ nine hairpin bends. Each hairpin bend opens up a new frontier. The misty peaks glare back right at your soul and at each of the nine bends, one feels the desire to stand still and stare back.

  • 5/5 Renjith K. 4 months ago on Google
    A great experience while travelling on these routes. Reserved area of animals. Pls obey line traffic strictly to avoid traffic block. Be patient and follow your front vehicle. Do not throw plastic materials there to save the environment and eco system. You think man can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity. Let me tell you about our planet. Earth is four-and-a-half-billion-years-old. There's been life on it for nearly that long, 3.8 billion years. Bacteria first; later the first multicellular life, then the first complex creatures in the sea, on the land. Then finally the great sweeping ages of animals, the amphibians, the dinosaurs, at last the mammals, each one enduring millions on millions of years, great dynasties of creatures rising, flourishing, dying away -- all this against a background of continuous and violent upheaval. Mountain ranges thrust up, eroded away, cometary impacts, volcano eruptions, oceans rising and falling, whole continents moving, an endless, constant, violent change, colliding, buckling to make mountains over millions of years. Earth has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us. If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at once and all the plants, all the animals died and the earth was sizzling hot for a hundred thousand years, life would survive, somewhere: under the soil, frozen in Arctic ice. Sooner or later, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life would spread again. The evolutionary process would begin again. It might take a few billion years for life to regain its present variety. Of course, it would be very different from what it is now, but the earth would survive our folly, only we would not. If the ozone layer gets thinner, ultraviolet radiation sears the earth, so what? Ultraviolet radiation is good for life. It's powerful energy. It promotes mutation, change. Many forms of life will thrive with more UV radiation. Many others will die out. Do you think this is the first time that's happened? Think about oxygen. Necessary for life now, but oxygen is actually a metabolic poison, a corrosive glass, like fluorine. When oxygen was first produced as a waste product by certain plant cells some three billion years ago, it created a crisis for all other life on earth. Those plants were polluting the environment, exhaling a lethal gas. Earth eventually had an atmosphere incompatible with life. Nevertheless, life on earth took care of itself. In the thinking of the human being a hundred years is a long time. A hundred years ago we didn't have cars, airplanes, computers or vaccines. It was a whole different world, but to the earth, a hundred years is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try. We've been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we're gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us.

    Beautiful Nature at its bestπŸ’š One of the best view points around waynad via road(no trek). The road to these places are just so marvelous, the hairpin turns are just a treat to the eye and the view can't be expressed in words. One should definitely visit this place. There is also a Waterfall near this place at 200meters. It is also a beauty to watch. These places are to enjoy nature and it's peace. There are few other view points up the hill towards waynad like Lakkidi View Point. PLEASE DON'T LITTER THE PLACE AND CARRY THE TRASH ALONG WITH YOU.

    Nice place to visit to enjoy the beauty of nature and the road hairpin architecture. Best time to visit would be early morning hours to avoid traffic congestion and drive slowly and also to enjoy the nature in parallel. Can expect high traffic congestion during day time as it's one of the main highway connecting district and states.
