MULLAPERIYAR DAM
Built in 1895 at 880 m above sea level, the dam plays an important role in generating electricity in the region
Located at 880 meters above sea level, on the Periyar River, this dam plays a major role in generating electricity in Kerala. It was built in 1895 by the British after the first dam failed due to floods. Although it is located on the Kerala side, it is administered by the Tamil Nadu government, as it also serves to retain water and water the plains of Tamil Nadu during the dry season. The place is popular with the locals who come to picnic and enjoy the breeze.
