Munnar has several lakes and dams but Anayirangal is a dam that stands out, deserving a special place on your itinerary. The reservoir is made more beautiful by its proximity to a lake and a tea plantation. The presence of wild elephants here from the surrounding evergreen forests makes it a frequented spot by wildlife photographers. A boat ride will bring you close enough to the inhabitants of the forest. A park in the area, well-maintained, makes it fun for families visiting the dam. Anayirangal Dam is best visited after the monsoon rains when the waters are overflowing. The surrounding forests and fields then provide a lush carpet of green.
