Banasura Sagar Dam

Banasura Sagar Dam is the largest earthen dam in India and the second largest in Asia, nestled in the foothills of the Banasura Hills — the third highest peak in the Western Ghats — near Kalpetta. The sprawling island-dotted reservoir is a scenic spectacle, and visitors can enjoy speed boating, kayaking, ziplining, rock climbing, and zorbing at the DTPC adventure camp on its shores. A handicrafts and spices emporium nearby makes it a great stop for shopping too.
