Amaravathy Dam,Crocodile Park

Amaravathy Dam

           The steep Amaravathy dam

 across the river amaravathy is 50 Kms from Dharapuram. There is a well laid-out park where one may climb the steep steps on the dam to have picturesque view north of the plains below and south to the Annamalai Hills and Palani Hills above. It is being developed as a district excursion center for tourism.
          Amaravathy Nagar Crocodile Farm, established in 1975, the largest Crocodile nursery in India is nearby. Many Crocodiles of all sizes can be seen basking in the sun and suddenly making a stride or piled up on one another. Eggs are collected from wild nests along the perimeter of the reservoir to be hatched and reared at the Farm. Many adult crocodiles have been reintroduced from here into the wild.
Key Word: Amaravathy Dam,Crocodile farm,Picnic Spot
