Asurankundu Dam

Asurankundu Dam is a small check dam and reservoir in Mullurkara village of Talappilly, Thrissur district, Kerala. The Kerala Revenue Department identifies Asurankundu Dam as a local tourism point in Mullurkara, while the surrounding landscape forms part of the greener uplands near the Peechi–Vazhani wildlife and forest belt. Rather than a heavily developed attraction, Asurankundu appeals for its quiet water views, tree-covered slopes and rural atmosphere.

The approach has traditionally involved forest-side roads and walking sections, so access conditions can vary with season, conservation rules and local restrictions. Visitors should confirm the current route and permissions before proceeding beyond public roads, especially during monsoon or dry-season fire-risk periods. For responsible travellers, the dam works best as a low-key nature and photography stop that highlights a less-visited side of Thrissur beyond the district’s major waterfalls and pilgrimage centres.
