Madammakkulam Waterfalls

Reviewed By mohamedriji - Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), India

Need off road drive to reach Madammakulam waterfalls from Kuttikanam. It is about 12 km form Kuttikanam and it takes about 45 minutes to reach there in Jeep. You have to walk down about 200 meters to reach the spot. The view was awesome.

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

the view from cheruthony dam is one of the most beautiful sights of Idukki, the travellers can witness both the dams ie, cheruthony dam and Idukki dam at the same time, Cheruthoni is the largest and highest gravity dam in Kerala. a good number of restaurants are available in the city, for both vegetarian and non-vegetarians.

Has reasonable parking available. Minimal charges for entry into the park. It's a very well maintained park, with clean walkways and surrounding, refreshment shops, adventure zone, toilets etc. The park provides a splendid panoramic view of Idukki and Cheruthoni dams together along with the Vaishali cave.
