Get ready for a great picnic at the Pothundi Dam surroundings! The Pothundi Dam is the second dam in Asia built without using concrete but an unusual mix of Jaggery & Limestone. The dam fed by the three tributaries of Bharathapuzha River is one of the best places to visit in Nelliyampathy. Lovely landscaped gardens surround the dam. A great view of the Nelliyampathy valley and sprawling paddy fields can be seen from the top of the dam. Pothundi Reservoir banks are famous picnic spots frequented by families. Boating facilities are available at the reservoir.
