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. On 10 August 2018, all five radial floodgates of the dam were raised for the first time in the 21st century after a long period of 26 years with the water level in the dam exceeding the 2400 ft mark.

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.

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.

Overview Situated amongst the gushing locations in Western Ghats Land and providing an enchanting view of the semi-evergreen forests grasslands, Anchuruli Waterfalls (also spelt as Anjuruli) is a surreal location definitely worth visiting. The water that comes from Erattayar River is used for the Idukki hydro-electric project. A tunnel which is 2 km long passes through Erattayar and Anchuruli carrying water to the lake. Though the tunnel is dangerous, it is a fun place to take a stroll at especially for all the adventure lovers

We were en route munnar driving from Cochin and we happens to stop by this huge waterfall right beside the road. What a breathtaking sight. We spent 30 odd minutes here admiring nature. It was empty and hardly people there due to off season so we could park right in front of the fall and enjoy it's beauty. You get tea coffee nearby in case you want to have some snacks. You can't go inside the fall you can just enjoy the beauty from outside.

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.
