MATTUPETTY DAM KERALA

MATTUPETTY DAM is 10 Km away from MUNNAR (Most attractive, picturesque place of Kerala). There is a dairy farm in Matupatty village run under Indo-Swiss project. This dairy farm produces cows near to size of an elephant.
Speed Boating can be done in MATTUPETTY DAM.
Mattupetty Dam, near Munnar in Idukki district, is a storage concrete gravity dam. It is built in the mountains of Kerala, India to conserve water for hydroelectricity. It has been a vital source of power, yielding along with other such dams, huge revenue to the states.
The large amount of perennially available water allows wild animals and birds to flourish. However salinity caused by irrigation and water-logging are of concern to environmentalists.
The reservoir is also known to be one of the visiting grounds of elephants in the region.
