The Maravakandy Dam is part of a hrdroelectric project and is about 15 KMS from Masinagudi. The Safari to the catchment area is quiet exciting since we may spot wild animals any moment. Not always you will be lucky but during my safaris I have seen herds of deers, elephants apart from monkeys, peacocks and bisons. The catchment area up to which we are allowed to go is beautiful, we will feel like staying overnight with a camp fire but it is not permitted. The water in the catchment area spreads over a vast area and seems it is not very deep. The forest surrounding the area and the fresh air together with the expecatation that we will see wild animals any moment made the visit thrilling.

Have some space to be free and make a good time. We didn't get the access to visit the whole place as it's under some law bound and due to safety reasons. May be it will be open after sometime.

Restricted area, nothing to see here. Just a temple within dam premises

It was pleasant place and not crowded at all. It's a small dam and we could see the mini hydro electric plant. It's located on the way to, just before the Mayar dam.

During my visit to Maravakandy Dam in Masinagudi, I was captivated by the serene ambience and the picturesque setting. Nestled amidst the lush Western Ghats, the dam offered a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and dense forests. A haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, the still waters mirrored the sky, adding to the scenic beauty. All in all, Maravakandy Dam is a tranquil retreat for those seeking to reconnect with nature.

An offbeat location in masanagudi, calm and serene and isn't crowded at all that's the best thing, i guess people are coming to know about this place so less people reach there. It's a bit inside from the town, the dam is one to be mentioned. Old but the best and if you are facing the dam and you look right you could spot Ooty !! Such a lovely place. Winds all around and no one to bother. Family friendly as well

It was a nice place.. but we were not allowed to visit this place as some work was going on.. so we we had to leave early.

This is mainly a small Dam. It was established in 1951

Serene place to visit in Masinagudi. You can see the mini hydro power plant closely from here... Get a local guide to accompany you as it's under restrictions. No entry fees required. If lucky we can spot some wild animals along the way.
