Kakki Dam and Reservoir

Kakki Dam and Reservoir lies in the remote eastern highlands of Seethathodu in Pathanamthitta district. Keralam State Electricity Board records identify the structure as part of the Sabarigiri Hydroelectric Project, while DTPC Pathanamthitta notes that it is built across the Kakki River, a tributary of the Pamba. The combination of a large reservoir, steep forested slopes and limited settlement gives the area a striking wilderness character.

For visitors, the attraction is as much the landscape as the dam itself: broad water, mountain forest and the sense of entering one of Keralam’s major hydroelectric regions. Because Kakki is within a sensitive forest and power-project zone, access to particular roads, dam structures or viewpoints may be restricted or permission-based. Travellers should confirm the latest official access conditions and avoid planning around unverified social-media routes or informal entry points.
