This was really a nice experience watching the tunnel and the nature's beauty around it. I went with my family. There were such a beautiful vibe around there.

It's a 5 kms handmade tunnel bringing water into Idukki dam. Very beautiful place. Walking inside tunnel is prohibited. Danger of flash floods anytime. View of end of dam water is beautiful .

Looks like unexplored beauty of nature. We visit during last weekend of May, decent water stream made it possible to go inside tunnel and experience the infinity end experience. Reservoir view is excellent too

This place is hidden Jem, I have been referred to this place by a local restaurant owner. We sat here for more than 1 hr. Place is less crowded during weekdays.. Come here if you have your own vehicle. Entry is free..

A nice place to visit.

You can see a tunnel built through a single rock 5 km long raking water to idukki dam...

The Anjuruli Tunnel is a tunnel located in Idukki district, Kerala. It's part of the Idukki Hydroelectric Project and serves as a diversion tunnel for water from the Erattayar River to the Idukki Reservoir.

We will have clear view of Idukki reservoir.
No entry fee

This was very nice experience..very beautiful place and can spend time without bore....bit be careful about to going in tunnel because some place have deapth

Even though it is an artificially created tunnel which connects the water body to Idukki dam, it is actually very scenic beauty and feels like it is a naturally formed tunnel. Beware that the water flow may come unexpectedly and I am not recommending anyone to go deep into the tunnel. Be in a distance where you can be in a safe place when water flow is there from the tunnel. All necessary facilities like parking, toilet facility, snack shops are available here. The road to here is very narrow and not suitable for speed cruising. Kindly don't throw or put plastic or other wastes in the premises and put it in the waste bin available there. Please visit the place and let me know your valuable comments and thoughts. No entry fee is there for the time being. Thank you!

Anchuruli Tunnel is one of the wonders of Kerala. The whole area is beautiful ☺. The tunnel is 5.5 km (3.4 mi) long circular tunnel that carries water from Erattayar dam near Kattappana to Idukki reservoir. The only drawback is No safety for the visitors. Even anyone can enter the tunnel without any restrictions.

Awesome tunnel but water level rises suddenly so we must not enter.only for viewing from long distance is advisable

Anchuruli Tunnel is a unique and fascinating tourist destination located in the Idukki district of Kerala. The tunnel is 5.5 kilometers long and was built in the 1960s to carry water from the Erattayar Dam to the Idukki Reservoir.

The tunnel is a popular spot for hiking, photography, and adventure sports. Visitors can walk through the tunnel, which is a great way to experience the natural beauty of the area. There are also a few waterfalls near the tunnel, which are a great place to cool off on a hot day.

The best time to visit Anchuruli Tunnel is during the summer, when the water levels are low and the tunnel is easier to walk through. However, the tunnel is also a beautiful sight during the monsoon season, when the waterfalls are in full flow.

I highly recommend Anchuruli Tunnel to anyone who is looking for a unique and fascinating tourist destination. It's a great place to experience the natural beauty of Kerala and to enjoy some adventure sports.

Visited in the monsoon season the water flow was very fierce.The tunnel was man-made consultation to drain the water overflowing from the Idukki reservoir. Summer is the best time to take a walk through the tunnel. It's risky to go inside the tunnel when water is flowing.

Quite an experience when you stand in front of the massive entrance overlooking the tunnels beyond. One should be very careful when water is flowing through, as the rocks are very sharp and it can slip easily. The vibe of the place is stunning with the tunnel going all the way inside for 5.5kms. A must go when you stay in Idukki or passing by the place. The road is decent and there is parking for both cars and bikes.

It is 5.5 km long circular tunnel that carries water from Erattayar dam to Idukki reservoir. No security guards no safety barricades here, u can care about yourself. An amazing view of dam island, there is no ticket service, absolutely free entry.

Brilliant place for a family/friends getaway

Safe? I wouldn't say so

No life guards, rails, warnings

But for adrenaline, come over
