==History==
Once during the colonial rule, Lakkidi was a secret route for local adivasis of Wayanad. An English engineer took help from a local chieftain called ''Karinthandan'' to identify the route through the ghats. Karinthandan helped him to find the shortest route to pass the ghat. Once the English engineer found out the way, he killed the adiviasi to take credit for finding the route. Later it was seen that the travellers who passed by the new route were haunted by the soul of Karinthandan. Hence a priest was called and in a chain his spirit was called, and tied in a small tree. It is believed that the chain grows along with the tree. This place has become a tourist spot attracting lot of tourists everyday.
An NGO called PEEP (People's Action For Educational And Economic Development Of Tribal People) organizes ''Karinthandan Smrithi Yatra'' on the 2nd Sunday of March every year in memory of Karinthandan, who is considered as the first martyr of Wayanad.
