Idukki Arch Dam, Idukki Overview

Idukki Arch Dam is an arch dam with a double curvature, located in Kerala's Idukki district and built across the Periyar River. The dam is constructed in a gorge between two hills, Kuravathi and Kuravan, and stands about 550 feet tall in otherwise rugged terrain.

With this height, it is one of the highest arch dams in Asia. Because of its massive size, the dam can be seen from quite some distance and the sight of the structure in between the granite hills is breathtaking. The surrounding is lush green, and the reservoir serves as a quick getaway for locals. As part of promoting hydel tourism, boating in the reservoir is open for tourists.
