Kothamangalam, situated 63kms from Ernakulam. It is situated in the village of Pindimana, about 10 km away from the town of Kothamangalam and 50 km away from the main city of Ernakulam.. There is a dam here and in the reservoir boating facilities are provided. The Forest Department provides elephant rides through the forest to oldBhoothankettu, which is very interesting. It is connected to the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, where visitors can see different varieties of birds and animals. The Idamalayar reservoir is about 12 km distance from the site. Thereis no railway access to the site; access to the site is through the greenish and thick forest. At the time of Malayatoor pilgrim season, travellers use the roads through the forest. Large blocks of unshaped stones are placed on both sides of the Periyar River to form the dam, making it look like a natural dam built by superhumans. The name Bhoothathan Kettu, means "monster dam"; past generations believed it was built by a Bhootham.
