The Azhutha Diversion Project, located just 4 kilometers from Kuttikkanam, is an impressive example of Kerala’s advanced water management techniques. This project diverts water from the Azhutha River, a key tributary of the Pampa River, through a 987-meter tunnel to the Idukki reservoir. The purpose of this massive endeavor is to provide crucial irrigation support to local farmlands, ensure a steady supply of water to the region, and assist in electricity generation. Its importance in sustaining local agriculture and enhancing the quality of life for nearby communities cannot be overstated. For visitors, the project offers a chance to witness a significant engineering achievement surrounded by the natural beauty of Kerala’s highlands.

In addition to its functional value, the Azhutha Diversion Project offers travelers an opportunity to explore the harmonious blend of nature and human ingenuity. Set against the scenic backdrop of lush greenery, this site is perfect for those interested in engineering marvels or Kerala’s resourceful approach to sustainable development. A visit to the project while staying at Thrisangu Haven Resort allows guests to appreciate not only the beauty of the area but also the quiet innovation that helps maintain its balance with nature.
