About this Place

Andiappanur Dam, situated in the Tirupattur district of Tamil Nadu, is a developing tourist and recreational destination. Constructed between 2003 and 2004 and officially opened in 2007, it harnesses the waters of the Kottaru and Periyaru rivers, originating from the Javadhu Hills.

Primarily built for irrigation, benefiting approximately 5,025 acres of agricultural land, the dam offers a picturesque landscape, especially after the monsoon season when water levels are high and the surrounding greenery is lush.

The Tamil Nadu government is actively enhancing the area's appeal with ongoing projects, including the construction of a boat house, canteen, and restrooms, making it a promising spot for relaxation, family outings, and enjoying nature's tranquility.
