Mullaperiyar penstock


While travelling from Kumily to Tamilnadu the view of penstocks is a view which should not be missed. Four massive penstocks carrying water from Mullaperiyar to Lower periyar power house in Tamilnadu. 




The road comprises of hairpin curves and these penstocks are made across the curves. To feel the massvie size of penstocks, climb down from the road and stand aside a penstock. the road passes through a semi forest. 



Monkeys can be seen along the road sides. These guys are notorious for snatching belonings from tourists who step down from vehichles. 



At the end of the road the lower periyar powerhouse can be seen.
