Karapuzha Dam
കാരാപ്പുഴ അണക്കെട്ട്
Another large earth dam in Wayanad. Below it lie gardens and an outdoor adventure park, making it ideal for a half-day outing with children.
The dam’s reservoir forms several lake inlets, and from the crest and viewing platforms you can see the lake bays and distant hills. The grounds feature well-kept gardens, children’s play equipment and adventure activities such as zip lines, kayaking and ropes courses. Local families flock here at weekends. The dam lies between Kalpetta and Ambalavayal, about 15 km from Edakkal Caves, so it is easy to combine with other sights. Admission and each activity are charged separately.
