Malampuzha dam is an half hour drive from Palakkad, Kerela state. It is also a two and half to three hour drive from Coimbatore, Tamilnadu. It can be visited in one day and one can come back either to Palakkad or Coimbatore in the night for the night stay. There is a entrance fee. The motor boat drive is on the other side of the Malampuzha dam garden. A nominal fee of Rs.40/- was charged and we were taken around the reservoir area for about 40 minutes and it was a very pleasant experience with the thunder all around during our visit.
After the drive u can come to the garden down below where there is a rope car which is a must as you can see the entire reservoir site and also the garden down below as the rope car crosses the entire length of the garden. Once you get down from the rope car and come down the garden you can also have boat drive either motorised or self propelled in the improvised canal from out of the water from the reservoir and the motorised boat driver will provide some thrill with acrobatics when he crosses a small bridge.
There are also animals cut of trees as is found in cubbons park in Bangalore which is also pleasant for the children to watch and enjoy.
