About this Place
Nallathangal Dam is a significant irrigation dam situated in the Dharapuram taluk of Tiruppur district, Tamil Nadu, India. Constructed across the Nallathangal Odai, a seasonal stream originating from the northern slopes of the Palani Hills, it plays a crucial role in providing water for agriculture and improving groundwater levels in the drought-prone region.
The dam, an embankment type completed in 2007 by the Tamil Nadu Public Works Department, features a substantial 3,300-meter earthen structure for water storage and a 150-meter masonry section equipped with two sluices for excess water drainage. While primarily functional, it also serves as a serene local attraction, offering picturesque views of the expansive water body and surrounding natural landscape.
It's a pleasant spot for relaxation, short outings, and photography, often featured in local vlogs. A temple near the dam on a small rock hill adds to its local cultural significance.
