Why to visit Kulamavu Dam
Kulamavu Dam, one of the Idukki reservoir project's triumvirate dams, was built in 1961 to control the flow of water into the Kallivally rivulet. The Periyar River's 100-foot gravity dam, consisting of concrete or stone masonry, spans between rocky mountains, forming a 33-square-kilometer reservoir. Kulamavu is a popular hill station in the Idukki area and one of the locations to visit in Idukki.
The 60-square-kilometer artificial lake created by the three dams adds aesthetic charm to the harsh rocky terrain and lush vegetation surrounding it.
The scenic environment, rubber and spice farms entice visitors to the hill station. The visitors are enthralled by the numerous varieties of birds that inhabit the hill station, such as the darter or snakebird, kingfisher, and others. Kaulamavu has incredible walking tracks with equally captivating surroundings that will pump up the adrenaline of hikers and trekkers.
