Malampuzha beauty view point

A good place to visit during the evening hours. Weekends and public holidays witness large crowds here. The garden and the dam is really a good place to spend time. The rope way, garden, snake park, aquarium, children's park, hanging bridges, boating and the famous yakshi statue, all makes malampuzha dam a tourist attraction. One can enjoy the view of the dam from the ground and from the sky using the rope way or sky car. The pedal boating through the water also is an amazing thing. Overall malampuzha dam is a must visit place in Palakkad.

Malampuzha dam is a great place to visit when you want to feel free and also it's a nice place to roam with your friends too. There are many things to watch and take snaps off!

There is a view point at the top lf the Dam at the centre and also there was one telescope tower of the right side of the Dam. It's now abandoned.

The Yakshi statue is one among the greatest attractions in the Dam garden.

Boating is available here as well.

Many small shops are inside the Dam premises making it even more relaxing.

Kerala Government please don't take my words as an offense old gardens was more beautiful than renovated one done during V. S. Achuthananthan Government in 2006. Please bring back the old design and also re introduce boating on the reservoir which was stopped in the year 2008.
