Kanjirapuzha Dam and Garden
Kanjirapuzha Dam, located about 38 km from Palakkad town near Mannarkkad, is a scenic irrigation dam set amidst the gentle hills of the Western Ghats. The highlight of this dam is its Neolithic beauty, surrounded by forested slopes and the Vettilachola hills, making it a peaceful retreat for couples, families, and photographers.
The dam is built across the Siruvani River, and the structured garden complex here includes lawns, flower beds, children’s play areas, and seating zones, offering a relaxed and photogenic environment. The dam’s still waters reflect the cloudy sky and green surroundings, particularly attractive during and after the monsoons.
Though not as famous as Malampuzha, Kanjirapuzha remains an underrated gem for nature lovers seeking offbeat experiences in Palakkad.
