Dam is small as compared to huge dams available in India. Good for photography and having fun in speed boat. You can stop here for a while when going to other places.

Mattupetty dam is the first to come in the top station road. The dam has water in all seasons, there are speed boat services offered in the dam and adjoining rivers by Sun-Moon Valley boating. One could go touch the water by walking down few steps from the gate and a bridge across the dam for a nice view. This... More

Mattupetty Dam and the lake is a comfortable short drive from Munnar.The lake waters look beautiful and scenic since the lake is surrounded by lush green hills.The panoramic view offered by the serene lake and hills is worth travelling a long distance. Boating facilities in the form of speed boats are available and very popular. Overall a very enjoyable trip... More

The dam itself is not exciting, though the scenery will provide some nice photos . Further down , one has speed boat ride and paddle boating. The speed boat is thrilling , though I would think the kids would love it more. The area around the paddle boat area is very green and one can spend some relaxed moments here.
