What to expect

An earthen irrigation dam on the Karapuzha river, opened to visitors with paved garden paths, a children's park and a watchtower that looks towards the Ambukuthi hill and Chembra. The adventure park next door adds rides such as a zipline and giant swing, each charged separately.

Plan your visit

  • It is flat and easy to walk, so it suits children and older guests.
  • Climb the watchtower for the view.
  • Pair it with Nellarachal for sunset, or with Phantom Rock and Edakkal Caves for a full Ambalavayal day.
