About Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad

Part of the Banasura Sagar Project, Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad is one of the most active tourist spots in Wayanad and for good reason. In Wayanad, Banasura Dam is a unique structure as it is a completely earthen dam. The lake formed by Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad is immensely beautiful. The view from atop Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad is simply superb and stretches on for miles. Famous as Kerala is for its diverse wildlife and flora, it should hardly be surprising that Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad is surrounded by great natural beauty. Evidently, the Wayanad Banasura Dam is the best tourist location. Close to several wildlife sanctuaries such as Kozhikode Wildlife Sanctuary, Bramhagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, and Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, Banasura Sagar Dam Wayanad is a great location.

Attractions and Activities to do

Set in the midst of dense forests, Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad is a small hike away from Ekkadal Caves in Ambukuthi Hills. The hills are also clearly visible when one climbs on to the top of the Banasura Dam in Wayanad. The artificial lake formed within Wayanad’s Banasura Dam offers speed-boating, kayaking, and coracle rides which are a must-try. Banasura Dam Wayanad offers an exciting jungle safari setting and is quite close to Kuruvadweep, which is a great island destination for tourists set amidst mangrove trees. Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad is an exquisite picnic spot as well.  A nice trek to the dark forests of Banasura Hill near Banasura Dam in Wayanad also makes for an engaging activity. The Wayanad Banasura Dam is also close to places of worship such as Shri Ayyappa Mandir, Shri Nath Mandir, and Nirur Shiva Mandir. One of the most engaging facts about Wayanad Banasura Dam is that it is India’s largest earthen dam and the reservoir created by Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad actually has islands inside it! There is even a small nature park near the boating area of Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad. 

Banasura Dam in Wayanad, being an earthen dam is a feat of engineering to behold. In Wayanad, Banasura Dam generates hydroelectricity, eco-tourism, and reigns over the Karamanathodu tributary of River Kabini. The best thing is, Banasura Sagar Dam, Wayanad, was constructed in a remarkable way. Not only does Banasura Sagar Dam in Wayanad control the flow of Karamanathodu, but it does so in a way that it does not disturb the local ecosystems. Set in an exotic location in Kerala, Banasura Dam in Wayanad together with a canal also contributes to localized irrigation channels and fresh water supply.

The travel executive, Sameer, was also available on call whenever guidance was needed, which we truly appreciated. However, a few promised add-ons were not ful
    filled as committed — specifically the arrangements for Kathakali, Kalaripayattu tickets, and the Munnar photoshoot. We had to manage these ourselves and pay from our own pocket. While the amount for Kathakali and Kalaripayattu was eventually reimbursed after multiple follow-ups, the photoshoot expense was not reimbursed. It would be better if such add-ons are either fulfilled as promised or the relevant refunds are processed promptly on the first follow-up. Multiple follow-ups affect the overall experience and mood of an otherwise well-planned trip.

    Chetan's 4 days trip to Wayanad

    Five-Star Experience in God's Own Country: Munnar & Alappuzha Tour Overall Rating: 5/5 (Highly Recommended!) Werecently concluded a phenomenal 3-night, 4-day trip covering the stunning hill station of Munnar and the tranquil backwaters of Alappuzha (Alleppey), arranged through Namaskaram Travels.
    The entire experience, from initial planning to final drop-off, was seamless, professional, and truly unforgettable. This package delivered the perfect blend of misty mountains and serene waters, and we can’t thank the team enough. Agent Excellence: Vineet (Namaskaram Travels) A huge shout-out must go to our travel agent, Vineet. His professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the entire booking process completely stress-free. Vineet expertly tailored the 4-day itinerary to maximize our time, ensuring comfortable travel and excellent accommodations in both locations. He was always responsive to our queries and ensured all logistics—from hotel check-ins to the houseboat boarding—were handled flawlessly. It felt great knowing we had such a reliable point of contact throughout the journey. Our Wonderful Driver: Subin Our driver, Subin, was truly the backbone of this trip. The drives between Kochi, Munnar, and Alappuzha are long, but Subin’s careful, safe driving and punctuality made every journey pleasant. He was extremely friendly, professional, and had superb local knowledge, pointing out hidden waterfalls, interesting spice plantations, and the best local spots for tea breaks. Subin's service went above and beyond; he was a reliable guide and a genuinely pleasant person to spend four days with. Trip Highlights Munnar (2 Nights) The rolling tea estates of Munnar are breathtaking. Our itinerary covered key spots like the scenic Mattupetty Dam, the fun echo phenomenon at Echo Point, and the unforgettable views from the top of the hills. The drive up, featuring stops and Valara waterfalls, set the perfect tone for the mountain stay. Alappuzha (1 Night Houseboat Cruise) The overnight stay on the traditional Keralite houseboat was magical and easily the highlight of the trip. Cruising through the narrow canals, witnessing village life, and watching the sunset over the backwaters was a truly unique experience. The traditional Keralite food served on the boat was delicious, and the staff was very attentive. In summary, if you are planning a trip to Kerala, we wholeheartedly recommend Namaskaram Travels. Ask for Vineet for the planning and Subin for the driving—they are a fantastic team! Date of Travel: October 2025 Package: 3 Nights / 4 Days Munnar & Alappuzha
