Karapuzha Dam is built on the Karapuzha Lake, which is however a conglomerate of a dozen lakes. This place is not very touristy, but if you have an evening to kill and watch the sunset in Wayanad, then this is the place for it. This place also promises to be a good one for birding but I guess our timing wasn't right. The dam in itself is a very quiet place and unlike other dams across the country, this one is open to public and hardly has any security personnel around it.
After waking around the dam for a while and waiting for the sun to set, SM and I (who had driven the car last night taking turns) found a comfortable spot to lie down on. And before we knew it, we drifted into a deep sleep. And when I finally woke up i found, much to my dismay, the sun had set! But from what I heard from my co-travelers, the sunset was magical.
Must-Do: Watch the sunset
Must-Don't: Littering
My Rating: 5/10
Short and sweet blog on the sangama of many lakes turned in to a dam. A brief write just like the short nap we had, promises more during the sunset. Indeed we missed a great sunset, but the small nap also proved a master stroke for our next day venture. Superb writing buddy!
ReplyDeleteYes Sri, the two of us deserved that short nap after all the driving we did. Nothing else could have energised us more than taking a nap in the lap of nature :)
DeleteNice post. Am yet to visit this place.

Its a quiet place with a beautiful sunset and that's about it. If you are on a tight schedule, then you might consider avoiding it. But again it all depends on your taste :)
DeleteI know how it feels to miss a sunset :(.
ReplyDeleteYou know what -- I'm going there to watch a sunset, next the time I visit home. Thank you for the suggestion. :)
You are welcome. Have a good time, whenever you are visiting this place :)
