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.

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.

The views of the mountains around the dam is amazing and filled with clouds are a treat to watch. Don't miss the boat ride at this place, especially the speed boat ride.

Having visited Malampuzha Garden and Dam in Kerala state several times in the past and also many other dams in Tamil nadu and few in Karnataka states, I would rate this one of the top attraction dam with garden with lot of playing amenities for children. In fact it came to mind that this dam and park maintenance puts it next after Krishnaraja sagar dam in Karnataka state, Mettur dam in Tamil Nadu.state for the big garden and maintenance though the dam is not as big as the other two dams. When you plan to visit this dam/garden, couple visiting Guruvayur and Thrissur temples visit in the morning hours and Malampuzha Dam for the afternoon or evening.
