Situated in the Idukki district of Kerala, India, the Mattupetty Dam stands as a concrete gravity dam constructed in 1953. It marked one of the initial dam projects undertaken in the state following India's independence. Serving a diverse range of functions, including hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, and tourism, the dam has become a prominent attraction.
With a height of 83 meters and a length of 238 meters, the Mattupetty Dam holds back the waters of the Muthirapuzha, Chanduvarai, and Kundala rivers. The resulting reservoir, named Mattupetty Lake, has gained popularity for activities such as boating, fishing, and appreciating the picturesque landscapes of the adjacent hills. The dam's environs are also home to a rich variety of wildlife, encompassing birds, elephants, and deer. Notably, the Mattupetty Dam is located approximately 29 km away from Riverdale Munnar Resorts & Spa.
