Idukki Dam

Reviewed By RaviS3538 - Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), India

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

Anayirankal Dam Reservoir

Reviewed By TheMoonchasers - Mumbai, India

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.

Ponmudi Dam

Reviewed By Kembhootha

If you are in Munnar, don't miss out on a visit to this place. When we visited last week, the roads were pretty patchy and took an hour to get to the dam from Munnar. However, the view is worth it. On one side, you see the back water and on the other side you have the let out of the water. There are not a lot of places to eat around and no parking place at all, but who cares. Drive up to the dam, stand on the dam ( bridge ) and get a panaromic view of the place. Cellphone signals will be patchy, save your GPS route beforehand. Reach when the sun is still around. Stay on till sunset and return. If you are lucky, you will see thousands of bats flying at sunset ( not close to you, but way up in the sky ). Excellent place overall, off the beaten path. You could visit the Ripple Falls en route to this.
