Constructed across the Thodupuzha river for the purpose of irrigation, this reservoir is also a tourism spot. This artificial lake is located near to the Thodupuzha – Moolamattom Road (State Highway 33) covering an area of around 11 km. The reservoir is ideal for boating and fishing. Unlike the Idukki and Cheruthoni dams, the Malankara dam is open to tourists round the year. Also a park is under construction nearby to the reservoir covering an adjacent 15 acre island.
