Kanjirapuzha Dam built across Kanjirapuzha river, a tributary of Thuthapuzha, is 34 km away from Palakkad town and at least 13 km away from the nearest town, Manakkanad. This dam which began its construction in 1961 for irrigation, is one of the secluded picnic spots away from the hustles of the city within the glory of nature. Kanjirapuzha dam is surrounded by fascinating hills, stretching along the way. The dam is within dense evergreen forests named Vattilachola, which is another nearby attraction of the dam that offers trekking facilities and rich flora and fauna species.
Kanjirapuzha dam is famous for the three islands abundant with marine life. In addition to the fish inside the reservoir, the Fisheries Department of the State Government grows certain species of fish for commercial purposes and sales. Commercial fishing and enhancing tourism via building a beautiful garden is part of this irrigation project. You can enjoy boating in the serene waters of the reservoir. The enchanting beauty of the dam within nature beds is sure to catch your attention and refreshes your soul by cleansing your natural aura.
