Create an itinerary including Pykara Lake

Discover Toda settlements and the wildlife habitat around Pykara Lake, where you can see how varied plant and animal life flourishes in and around a reservoir of water created to support a hydro-electric power project. Follow the river that flows over series of waterfalls until your reach the last two, with heights of 55 m (180 ft) and 61 m (200 ft). Book a room at a boat house on the lake for that authentic experience and a chance to explore at your own pace.

Pykara lake is just an amazing place. You can feel the nature, the clouds, the sounds of the waterfall, the shining water due to sun's reflection.... everything i saw there was as poetic as it is!

Great scenic Lake but poor approach road. Heavy crowded in holiday season. Long queue for boating so could not go for it..

This place is really nice for boating. There are two types of tickets for boating here. 1. 1000 for 8 people 2. 1200 for 10 people. If you going alone then it's better that you make a group of people and then buy tickets for boating . It will save you some bucks. Also, make sure you carry umbrella here.
