History Of Bhoothathankettu Dam & Reserve Forest
Ernakulam, Kerala, India
Bhoothathankettu Dam & Reserve Forest is a breathtaking eco-tourism destination nestled in the lap of the Western Ghats. The name literally translates to "Monster Fort," originating from a local myth that demons once tried to dam the Periyar River to submerge the Trikkariyoor Temple. The site is a magnificent blend of man-made engineering and raw natural beauty, featuring a massive dam and a sprawling reserve forest that houses diverse flora and fauna. Visitors are greeted by the sight of massive boulders that look like they were placed by giants, adding a mystical aura to the landscape. The area is also part of the catchment for the Thattekad Bird Sanctuary, making it a paradise for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The serene waters of the reservoir reflect the lush greenery, offering a peaceful retreat from the urban chaos of Ernakulam. It serves as a vital irrigation source for the Periyar Valley and is a popular weekend getaway for locals and tourists alike. The surrounding forest is dense and teeming with life, providing a habitat for various animals including elephants and deer. This location is not just a dam; it is a gateway to the wilderness, offering trekking trails and boating experiences that connect you with nature.
