In the outskirts of Trivandrum city. Could be developed into a better tourist destination with more hygiene and maintenance. A temple adjacent to the dam.

Awesome place. The downward side of the dam is really beautifull.

Aruvikkara Dam is located in Aruvikkara n Thiruvananthapuram District, Kerala. This Gravity and Masonry dam was built across the Karamana River and was completed in 1972 is used for irrigation and supplying drinking water to the city of Thiruvananthapuram.The Aruvikkara dam project came up in the 1930s and has been supported by the Peppara dam built in 1983. The height of the dam is 14.01 meters and the length is 83.21 meters.The Aruvikkara Dam meets the irrigation needs of Thiruvananthapuram. The reservoir is also one of the water tourism sites in Kerala. Aruvikkara dam is a scenic spot on the banks of Karamana River, which is located on the outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram city. In the area is a beautiful Durga temple which is situated close to a stream where people can be seen feeding fish which pop up close to the shore. Visitors stroll around the pristine picnic spots. Aruvikkara is ideal for a weekend drive from the State capital for one to enjoy its serene surroundings. This is a very small dam and its better to visit it only when water is there otherwise it will be very disappointing. There is a small park next to the dam. The local transport also is not frequently available. This place is not worth for a full day or half day plan. Average time you can spend here is 1 hour.

Aruvikkara dam is situated at aruvikkara at Thiruvananthapuram, and was completed in 1972 .water from here is pumped for irrigation and supplying drinking water to the city of Thiruvananthapuram.The Aruvikkara dam project came up in the 1930s and has been supported by the Peppara dam built in 1983.The height of the dam is 14.01 meters and the length is 83.21 meters.Aruvikkara devi temple is also nearby, fish feeding is one of the main offering of the temple to cure skin diseases. Children's park is also here and had an ample car parking space.

Small dam but well maintained. There is a small kids park too in the sides of dam. Entrance fee 0. There is a tea shop and cool drinks and other local juices available. Parking is good. Don’t miss the view from the bridge where the water flows. There is a good sitting space on opposite side of the dam but unfortunately it is closed and kept for unknown reason.

Beautiful dam situated near a bhagavathi temple.Better to visit here on special festivals and occasions to see pretty lightnings all over the dam.

its a small dam and well maintained..recently the park and parking area has been renovated..aruvikkara temple is situated near the dam..have lot of meomories here..its a nice place to spend your evenings with your family/friends...small tea/coffe/ice cream spots are there....good view of reservoir and dam...childrens park is also there which is free of cost and is accessible to everyone

Really good dam in Trivandrum.. but there not much to see as a tourist. Scenery in the background is less when u compare other dams.

A nice calm and scenic place to spend the evening. It takes around 30 minutes to reach here from Trivandrum. Here, the Karamana River flows very beautifully. There is a Park near the dam where children can play. The walkway next to the park offers a great view of the dam and the river. The park is kept clean. No fees to enter the place. For refreshments, some stalls are there near the entrance but I felt it's not clean enough. A parking facility is available.

A nice place to have some leisure time. The dam, the rocks around, the cave like place near the temple there and more over the inner part of the reservoir are awesome... The must to travel around is the inner part of the reservoir. It offers some scenic beauties of nature. But the road of the inner side of the reservoir is worse. If Govt. spend some money here, they can rise up this place as one of the beat tourist attraction. The possibility of boating can be brought up here.

A small picnic spot to hang out with friends and family, not a dam as what you are expecting.It's a small dam with a pleasant vibe... Have small shops for tea, snacks,Seperate parking facility is also there..

Nice ambience. A temple also near to that of Vaishnavi Devi. Good atmosphere. We can relax and enjoy with our family.

Vast place to wander around, but can't enter post COVID . Great place for a family visiting . Not the " dam" that I'm positive about, but the corridor. Had to explain to the police why I were there and it's not for immoral stuffs.

A good place for a one day trip Aruvikkara Dam is the main water resourse for whole Trivandrum city. A good picnic spot to be with the family and friends.When I arrived there, the dam shutters opened due to heavy rainfall in the state.

Simply beautiful place. It's a small dam.But the vibes are cool.There is a small park for children.Enough parking space and a small tea shop also there.

Nice place

It is very nice place. The Aruvikkara Dam purifying water and supplying to TVM city.

Super

Nice place

Not much to see or do you take a stroll around the dam and see some fishes otherwise not very interesting got bored easily.

Nice place

Take bath there...have fun...

Childrens park is closed

Nice place to chill out within the city. Amazing to see the water flow from dam up-close when the gates are open

This place entry ticket is not available.... free to entertain the dam. Best place to take the photos. Maintenance is not good. Children park available. children playing area available there...... Playing items not maintaining. Please is maintained clean. It's near to trivandrum.30 min travel. Parking is available.water treatment plant also available........

Good place for a quite meditation. Birds and water sounds add to the calmness. Lots of shade. You can feed the fishes too.

It's a nice place to visit.. You can bring your kids here... There is a park available.

A small and quiet place to spend some time and do some photo shoots. There is a Devi temple which is popular for curing warts! There are so many people who got rid of their warts after the ritual/offering at this temple.

The park near aruvikkara dam is not that good as the park equipments for kids had been damaged and not replaced/repaired by authority. Kids might get infected from the rusted iron equipments and not safe for kids. The park is in a deteriorated state and only allow childrens to play under parent's supervision.

Peaceful place with a small dam. There is a place for kids to play , but it needs serious maintenance. Plan visiting before sunset. Overall you will have a nice time with family.

The rating is purely from a children's point of view or rather posters with young kids. This is a fabulous free spot to visit if you are coming from Tri andrum.or surrounding areas. The site of the dam during low rain situation is not worth it got the flow of the water through the rocky spots accessible to all is brilliant. You can easily spend an hour here. Just watch out for slippery spots. A park, though not maintained well is just an ok attraction, but young kids will still love it. There is a fish feeding spot which lets you watch fishes up close. The Durga temple is an added bonus which is believed to be the care taker of this area.

Not a bad destination to spend some time. Kids will have fun playing at park.

A big dam for drinking water scheme for city people. A goddess temple and a children's park on the banks of the river. Here there is a ritual of feeding the fish in the river and it is believed that skin diseases will be cured. On the festival day, the temple has elaborate decorative lighting and artistic performances

Awesome experience being here. This place is plastic free and under Kerala water authority. There us a park called shiva park where people can spend their day with children. Park open from 9 am to 7 pm. There is also a good view of dam from the park and we can also feed fishes in the river.

not that much

Lesser known place... Evening visits are good for peace of mind seekers.

Nice place , green, clean.. cool, small dam yet fascinating , friendly locals.. be careful of slippery rocks and deep pits between rocks. Dont bath as water on the other side of the dam is used for bathing cattle, washing cloths and cleaning vehicles.

Nice place, pls give permission for visiting water transplantation treatment in dam sight office. Then it will be useful for kids and young generation

A place of peace... There's a temple nearby. Plenty of parking space, only small shops available thr.. light foods and beverages are available.. people come here to feed fishes too.

A good place to spend an evening and the religions ones can also go the temple nearby. Not so crowded nowadays.

With this pandemic only a few visitors are there but still this place is such a scenic one which u guys are gonna love that... Really enjoyed😍
