Pazhassi Dam

A dam-reservoir-garden in Mattanur, it has been named after the erstwhile king Pazhassi Raja, who was born here.

The dam is the first major irrigation project in Northern Kerala. The dam is also known as Kulur Barrage. Pazhassi Dam is 35km from Kannur town on the Mattannur-Iritty route. The garden is a picnic spot while the dam caters to the irrigation needs of Kannur. Rides in the park, the walkways and well-maintained garden make Pazhassi Garden worth a visit for all age groups. The garden, from where one can have a marvelous view of the dam, also has an amphitheatre where cultural performances are held. The garden, run by the District Tourism Promotion Council, also has accommodation facilities at its Inspection Bungalow.
