Malampuzha Dam and Gardens

Malampuzha Dam and Gardens are located 8 km from Palakkad town. It was built in 1955 and the garden was renovated in 2012. The main attractions are the suspension bridge, the cable car ride and the fantasy park. There are several gardens, including one Japanese garden. The Yakshi statue of Kanayi Kunjiraman is also reputed even though the nudity of the structure is not approved by the conservative society of Kerala. The dam is accessible by bus and the last bus returns to town by 8.00 pm. The nearest railway station is Palakkad Junction which is otherwise known as Olavakkode. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Malampuzha_Garden_Yakshi_Statue_by_Kanayi_Kunjiraman.JPG" caption="Yakshi Statue"] ::
