• Thumboormuzhi Dam & Garden - Thumboormuzhi Dam and Garden is a key component of the Ezattumugham Prakrithi Gramam project. This project features a hanging bridge, which is the main highlight, along with a butterfly garden, children’s play area, and a watchtower offering views of the river. The hanging bridge is particularly popular as it allows visitors to see the Chalakudi River flowing beneath their feet, providing a unique vantage point for photography. The butterfly park is another notable attraction. Located before the Athirapally Waterfalls on the Kochi to Athirapally route, this is an ideal spot for photography and family outings.
