| BHPian | Neyyar Dam, Trivandrum Neyyar Dam A popular picnic spot, Neyyar Dam is located around 35 kms from Trivandrum with the Western Ghats providing a picturesque background. The major attractions in Neyyar Dam include a Lion Safari Park, Deer Park, Boating, a well maintained garden, Swimming Pool, Watch Tower & crocodile farm which was renamed as Steve Irwin National Park after late Steve Irwin. The Route Thampanoor - Balaramapuram - Ooruttambalam - Kattakada - Kallikkadu - Neyyar From Kattakada turn right to go to Kallikkadu. From Kallikkadu continue straight to go to Neyyar Dam. Total Distance - 35 kms from Thampanoor Now for some photos of Neyyar Dam. Muruga Temple at the entrance to the top of the dam  View from the temple. You can see the watch tower on the other side of the dam.  Entrance to the top of the dam   Sentinel?  Can't read the sign board?  What about now?  Didn't go for the safari as I had done the same in Bannerghatta National Park. So no pictures of the beasts. You can find plenty of these around the dam premises & in the watch tower  View from top of the dam     Boating facilities are available here.  Watch Tower  Top to bottom  View from top of the tower  Zoomed shot  You can see the orange life jackets very clearly in this shot. This was taken a few days after the tragedy at Thekkady. Arches  Is he grinning?  Still cannot clear the confusion.  Siesta time.  For those who still didn't get the above guy's name   Not only crocodiles, you can also see pythons.  Beautiful life size statues of Kathakali performers   Dirty look!  Ah, That's why!  The Garden    Contd.. |

| BHPian | Thanks, Jk. I think Neyyar Dam is a place with the potential to attract more visitors if the KTDC improves the facilities & develop the place. OT - so you have reached office, eh.. |
