No cameras, do remember this it's a high security area and hence very strict about carrying any thing which is battery operated.make sure u leave every thing in your vehicle.dam entrance is at cheruthoni dam ,you can buy tickets at the entrance every thing is managed by kerala state electricity board. Entrance fee is 25 rs and no ticket for kids ,there is a battery operated car which ferries visitors from. Dam entrance to top of idukki arch dam.if travelling with little kids it's advisable to use the battery car as it there is around 2 km distance from dam entrance to arch dam.it will cost you 30rs one way including children. Car parking is a mess as u need to park on the road and can easily gets blocked ...Though it's a must visit. The dam has a rich history to offer and is a location for various movies.The most important thing is the dam is not open every day it is open on public holidays,sat Sundays

This place is located in Iduki district and the boarder of kottayam. Still untouched by commercialisation, the sleepy town is surrounded by valleys, green meadows, pine forests, mists, fogs, tea estates, waterfalls and overall greenery. The landscape is mostly hilly bald with green meadows. Vagamon is also home to a variety of flowers and orchids. Three hills - Thangal, Murugan and kurisumala.I have visited vagamon in the last year may with my four friends.

Kurushumala hills is a Christian pilgrimage center in Vagamon. Apart fro that, this is also an excellent trekking site in Vagamon. The hike starts at Kallillakavala (Kurisumala base). As you trek up, there are 14 crosses (known as 'Way of the cross') at regular intervals on the hill. There is a small church on top. The trek is a bit hard and is not for those with health problems. But the view form the top is unbeatable. The cool breeze atop will take away all the tiredness. Near the hills there is an ashram, home of Christian monks and a dairy farm managed by the monks. The place is frequented by tourists all through the year. On Good Friday and Easter season many followers do the trek up Kurusumala carrying wooden cross as a pilgrimage.

An average healthy person can easily trek up. The views from the top is worth the pain. Entrance is free. The place opens up at 8.00 am for visitors.

We visited Anayirangkal on a summer morning when there were hardly any tourists around. You can take a canoe to the lake all by yourself and enjoy the breathtaking valley view around.
