This scenic dam about 15 km from Munnar town is one of the hill station's most visited attractions, rated 3.7 out of 5 across nearly 3,900 reviews, ranking among the top ten things to do in Munnar. The setting is genuinely beautiful, a lake surrounded by tea plantations, eucalyptus trees, and misty mountains, and the speed boat rides (around Rs. 600 for five people) are frequently singled out as the highlight, offering an exhilarating, scenic ride across the reservoir. That said, opinions on the dam itself are notably split. Many visitors call it just an ordinary dam with limited activity beyond photo opportunities, surrounded by minor tourist clutter like shooting balloon stalls and souvenir shops that some feel detract from the natural serenity. Crowds and traffic are a significant recurring complaint, especially on weekends and during peak season, when boating queues can stretch to two hours and the drive from Munnar itself gets congested. The dam can also run dry outside monsoon season, reducing the visual impact. The general consensus is that it is a worthwhile stop for the drive, scenery, and boat ride, best visited on a weekday morning, but not a destination to build an entire day around.
