I travel a lot... Mostly with my friends.... And i forget about everything. Now this is a page in my travel diary....Bhoothathankettu is the part of ever green forest in kerala,Ernakulam dist.The journey is too good.... Through the forest and bank of "Periyar" River ... You can walk through the forest and enjoy the beauty of nature....It is situated in the village of Pindimana, about 10 km away from the town of Kothamangalam and 50 km away from the main city of Ernakulam.A scenic dam site with boating facilities is situated in a vast virgin forest. It is a popular picnic spot.
It is connected to the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, where visitors can see different varieties of birds and animals. The Idamalayar reservoir is about 12 km distance from the site. There is no railway access to the site; access to the site is through the greenish and thick forest. At the time of Malayatoor pilgrim season, travellers use the roads through the forest.
Large blocks of unshaped stones are placed on both sides of the Periyar River to form the dam, making it look like a natural dam built by superhumans. The name Bhoothathan Kettu, means "monster dam"; past generations believed it was built by a Bhootham (monster).
How to Reach:
Nearest railway station: Aluva Railway Station, about 50 km away.
Nearest airport: Kochi international airport about 26 km from Ernakulam town.
Remember one thing if you travel to Bhoothathankettu... U have long way to walk... so fixed one day of walk with food.
