Peruvannamuzhi Dam

Peruvannamuzhi Dam is a reservoir destination in the eastern part of Kozhikode district, Kerala, surrounded by hills and dense greenery. Kerala Tourism presents Peruvannamuzhi as a nature-rich attraction associated with the Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary landscape and notes the presence of small, uninhabited islands within the reservoir. The broad water surface and wooded surroundings create a quieter atmosphere than Kozhikode’s urban and beach attractions.

Boating has been one of the visitor activities associated with Peruvannamuzhi, subject to current local operations and safety conditions. The area is also useful as part of a wider nature circuit through Koorachundu and toward Kakkayam, where the terrain becomes progressively more mountainous. Birdlife, reservoir views and changing light across the water make the destination suitable for relaxed sightseeing and photography.

Facilities and access can vary over time, particularly during heavy rain or changes in water level, so travellers should check local conditions before relying on a specific activity. Visitors should also respect barriers and instructions around dam infrastructure. For a calm inland excursion in Kozhikode, Peruvannamuzhi offers a blend of reservoir scenery, forest-edge landscape and eco-tourism appeal.
