Mattupetty Dam in Kerala is a tranquil escape in the lap of nature. Surrounded by lush hills, this dam offers picturesque views. To reach, take a taxi from Munnar, which is about 13 kilometers away. The serene atmosphere is perfect for a leisurely stroll or boat ride. The dam is a great spot for bird-watching and photography. While it's a beautiful location, it can get crowded, so visiting during weekdays is recommended for a more peaceful experience. #timetotravel Rating -My overall rating of this place ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #mountainview

I took this photo in Munnar, a picturesque hill station famous for its tea plantations.This lake will always have a special place in my heart.The silence and peace here made us realize that there is so much more to life than our work, and nothing is more important than enjoying life. The patterns in the clouds, the crystal clear water, and the cold breeze also truly made me realize the beauty of nature. #Idukkidam
