Mattupetty
Dam:
A
Picturesque
Destination
in
the
Western
Ghats
Located
in
the
picturesque
Western
Ghats
of
India,
Mattupetty
Dam
is
a
must-visit
destination
for
any
traveler
to
Kerala.
During
my
recent
visit
to
the
area,
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
spend
an
afternoon
at
this
stunning
location,
and
it
was
an
unforgettable
experience.
One
of
the
first
things
I
noticed
about
Mattupetty
Dam
was
the
breathtaking
natural
beauty
that
surrounded
it.
The
dam
is
set
against
a
stunning
backdrop
of
lush
green
hills,
and
the
cool,
clear
waters
of
the
lake
provided
a
soothing
respite
from
the
hot
Indian
sun.
The
dam
itself
is
an
impressive
feat
of
engineering,
with
a
length
of
1,700
meters
and
a
height
of
170
meters.
It
was
built
in
the
1940s
to
provide
water
for
the
surrounding
towns
and
villages,
and
it
remains
an
important
source
of
irrigation
to
this
day.
One
of
the
highlights
of
my
visit
to
Mattupetty
Dam
was
taking
a
leisurely
boat
ride
on
the
tranquil
waters
of
the
lake.
The
boat
ride
allowed
me
to
soak
in
the
natural
beauty
of
the
area
and
provided
a
unique
perspective
on
the
dam
and
surrounding
landscape.
The
cool
breeze
that
swept
over
the
lake
was
refreshing
and
invigorating,
and
I
felt
completely
at
peace
surrounded
by
such
stunning
natural
beauty.
Another
highlight
of
my
visit
was
the
opportunity
to
see
some
of
the
local
wildlife
up
close.
The
surrounding
hills
are
home
to
a
variety
of
flora
and
fauna,
and
I
was
lucky
enough
to
spot
some
deer
and
wild
goats
grazing
on
the
hillsides.
For
those
looking
to
learn
more
about
the
history
and
significance
of
the
dam,
there
is
also
a
small
museum
on
site
that
provides
an
informative
overview
of
the
dam's
construction
and
the
important
role
it
plays
in
the
region.
Overall,
my
visit
to
Mattupetty
Dam
was
a
truly
memorable
experience
that
allowed
me
to
connect
with
nature
and
appreciate
the
beauty
of
the
Western
Ghats.
Whether
you're
interested
in
engineering,
history,
or
simply
looking
for
a
peaceful
retreat
in
the
midst
of
stunning
natural
beauty,
Mattupetty
Dam
is
a
destination
not
to
be
missed.Nice
place.
Boating
can
be
