THAMARASSERY CHURAM

Wayanad Ghat pass also known as Thamarassery Churam is along the National Highway NH766 connecting Kozhikode with Wayanad. Wayanad Ghat road is the most beautiful in South India stretching 14 Kms and having 9 hairpin bends with each turn taking one to a higher altitude offering a better view of the picturesque plains below.

According to history, Foreign rulers were attracted by the beauty of Wayanad especially the spices and they tried to make many passes to reach Wayanad. Finally, a head of tribal community showed them this route. But in order to take the credit of having found the route, they killed the tribal head. And it is the belief that his spirit used to haunt the travellers by throwing away the vehicles into the valley. Finally he was chained to a tree to solve the problem.
