Idukki Dam & Arch Dam Day Trip

Idukki

The Idukki dam is a double-curvature arch dam built across a narrow gorge between two granite hills, standing about 168 metres, which makes it one of the highest arch dams in Asia. Visits are limited and only with permission, so access depends on the day. The surrounding hills and the Cheruthoni dam make a fine drive regardless, and the district is the spice heart of Kerala.
