Beautiful place to relax and enjoy the scenic beauty of Idukki. The park is well-maintained with clean pathways and a calm atmosphere. The view of the dam and surrounding hills is absolutely worth it. One thing I really liked is that the toilets were clean and properly maintained, which is rare in many tourist spots. A peaceful spot for families, couples, and solo travellers alike. Worth a visit if you’re in Idukki.

A stunning place for take photos of Idukki dam, cheruthoni dam, Kuravan kurathy hills and surroundings. Well maintained place. Enough parking slots. Clean and quiet. Beautiful views of dams etc. Also adventure activity park for sky cycle, Zip line, Gun shooting, Burma bridge, Kutta vanchi boating, etc. Separate entry fee for each activity. Snacks bar, ice cream shop and well maintained Toilet etc.are there. There is an entry fee of ₹25/- for each adult to the park. See the details in my photos. A must visit place while in Idukki dam visit.

A well maintained park on a hill with a great view of the Cheruthoni &,Idukki dams, along with the reservoir. A watch tower is built on top of the hill to catch a glimpse of the dams and the hill ranges. There are also adventure sports available. Toilet facilities are good and maintained well.

You could see Anamudi mountain as well from here. Car parking is available, but there is a steep walk to the park. Not for old age people

Clean and beautiful.. Well maintained. Good scene of Idukki arch dam and reservoir...

It was a nice experience going there. There a good infrastructure there. Lots of photo points there. It was worth visiting
