Anchuruli Tunnel ( Kanchiyar ) - History details

A 3.8‑km water-conveyance tunnel (1974–1980) bored through Kalyanathandu hill to divert Erattayar waters into the Idukki reservoir. The 24‑ft‑diameter outlet at Anchuruli forms a striking cave‑like cascade in monsoon and serene reflections in summer. It’s an engineering landmark turned photo‑spot; authorities advise viewing only from safe zones due to sudden flows and slippery rock.
