One of our outings included a visit to the Mattupetty dam, about 13 kilometres from Munnar. The driver left us at one end of the dam and drove the car to the other end for parking.

This is situated around 12kM from Munnar town. It takes around half an hour to reach there. The dam has some local shopping. The main attraction is boating and it is not to be missed. If lucky you can get view of some wild animals.

A ten minute boat ride for which you have to wait for almost an hour. And that too at cost of Rs 500. Skip the ride and just enjoy the tranquil water.

The road on the dam is very narrow and hence causes traffic jams. Less water in summer. You should also visit the flower garden, which is really very nice and is not very far from the dam.

You can see the dam even without getting down from your vehicle, it is on the way to Top Station. There are some water activities around the dam - speed boat, or boat ride (we did not take it).

The road will take you directly to Mattupetty dam. I would suggest, even if you have GPS navigation just ask the locals for directions. We... More
