Thenmala dam is the main attracation in this project. Dam built across Kallada River is under Kallada Irrigation project. The view of the dam from 'Ottakkal lookout' is marvellous. Kerala tourism Department had made necessary arrangements to enjoy the beauty of forest with all its calmness.
Here we can select the package that suit to our needs. Thenmala eco tourism promotion society has arranged several packages to exploit every area of this land. We can walk through the walk ways in the forest and watch 36 statues which shows the relation between human and nature along the walk ways in thick forest. After that we can climb the hanging bridge. From this the adventure zone begins. Then comes the elevated walk way. Then we have the trekking facility, rope way across the lake, observe the forest from the tree house(erumadam). There we can feel the nature in its raw form which include meadows filled with unknown flowers, small streams, rocky areas, small walkways and many more. Deers have a special park here. We can have a boating in the Parappar dam and have a close look at the wild life sanctuary and enjoy the musical fountain accompanied by the enchanting illumination. We may have bird watch in this area.
Shenduruny wild life sanctuary is also included in this project. Another main attraction is Palaruvi water falls. Its only 16Km from Thenmala. At Palaruvin water falls from 300 feet height. We may have a bath in the pure water.
