Aruvikkara Dam is located in
Thiruvananthapuram District of
Kerala. It is built across the Karamana River and is around 16 km north of
Thiruvananthapuram city. The dam supplies water to Thiruvananthapuram city.
A temple, dedicated to Goddess Durga, is a major attraction nearby. Near the temple there is a small stream full of fish, which fearlessly come close to the edge of the water to be fed by the visitors.
Buses from Nedumangad, Peroorkada and East Fort ply to the dam site.
