Constructed in the early 1950s, shortly after India’s independence, Mattupetty Dam stands as a significant source of hydroelectric power in Kerala. Nestled on Mattupetty Lake, the dam is surrounded by lush greenery that serves as a year-round sanctuary for various birds and animals. Visitors can walk or drive across the dam, and from several lookout points, they can enjoy picturesque views of the serene landscape.
