Why to visit Boating at Idukki Dam
The Idukki Arch Dam is an engineering marvel in Kerala, India's southernmost state. It is a double-curvature arch dam constructed on the Periyar River. The dam is built in a canyon between two hills called Kuravathi and Kuravan. It stands at a height of around 550 feet and provides a beautiful view of the otherwise rough region along which it was constructed.
It is one of Asia's tallest arch dams at this height. The dam can be seen from a long distance due to its immense size, and the sight of the construction in between the granite hills is beautiful. The reservoir provides as a fast refuge for locals, and the surrounding area is lush green. Tourists can go boating in the reservoir as part of a promotion of hydel tourism.
The dam entrance fee is INR 25, while the boating fee is INR 125.
