Idukki Dam Boating Starting Point — Attraction in Kerala

The boat is a 20 seater. They require minimum 5 people to start a trip. So when you go to ticket counter they will inform you the next available timing probably in another 10 mins to 1 hour. So if you have a reasonable waiting period for your boating trip to start you may vist the Hill View Park which is around 1.5 Kms from the ticket counter if you are with family or kids.

The boating trip will last around 30 mins. You will be provided with a life jacket. If you have kids who are less than 5 to 7 years old, it is difficult to wear jacket for them. So if you already have something which fits them you can bring it with you. The boating is generally safe. You are not allowed to stand or walk once the boat leaves the shore.

You get a scenic view of Cheruthoni dam, Idukki Arch dam, Vysali Caves. The one with the shutter is the Cherthoni dam.

The only niggle is that the operator and the other staff doesn't care to explain anything to you. So if you're not from Kerala or never heard of the region you will find it difficult to learn on the trip. But you can get a lot of info on internet and get to know about things before you reach Idukki

It's a wonderful experience to make a boating in the idukki dam reservoir. I think the boat service is run by forest department. Ticket fare per person is 150. But there is one condition that minimum 5 ticket is a must for a boat service. Hence it's recommended to visit here in weekends, holidays or in peak season. Otherwise it will be difficult to get 5 passengers. Ticket counter is situated near the main road itself in vellapaara in idukki thodupuzha root. Boat journey will be for 30 minutes. During the journey staff will describe the deatils regarding the dam, reservoir, nearby forest, it's flora and fauna etc.. and if you are lucky you can see wild animals alongside the reservoir. Also we can make a trip to idukki dams after this boating which is jus two kilometres away from this boating point. Please note that Dam entry is allowed in weekends and public...
