This 2000 year old dam is a beautiful place, and a treat to visit. On visiting the dam, one cannot help wondering how this piece of engineering has managed to survive so many years of wear and Tear. The dam still continues to hold water, and serve the community. Accessibility score: three on five. Wheelchair users can easily reach and visit the dam. It is also quite accessible for persons with blindness.

What I mention about this place is not going to justify it. It’s near Trichi about 15 KM, out in a nice country side surrounding.on the way to the dam you can lots of banana farms, cocoa trees and lush green fields.A 2000 year old structure standing high and tight is a must visit place if you are in or around Tiruchirapalli #Trichi .It will take you away from the life’s of temples & churches . A nice place for a morning stroll or a late afternoon stroll once you are at the spot.If you are travelling with children it’s also a place which can give you & them a break, as there is a nice park with swings and other things to keep kids busy . Enjoy the ambiance I can’t describe it and if you like the place like ?? the post also.

Very good place to hangout in Trichi. Friend also mentioned it as 'triveni sangamam', the dam distributes the water from cauvery between 3 rivers. It also got a park for kids. Loved this place, specially the strong winds here(not sure if its a daily things). Only problem is that if you are on a 4 wheeler, parking is really difficult on weekends.

Ancient place to understand our historic nature of water management done by Great King Karikala Chozhan.. After these many years of background it's still standing with its own Gigantic look.. Kids may enjoy this and it's our duty to visit the place to realise our Tamil culture and Skill.

Kallanai dam is one of the oldest dam in India built by karikalan (Karikala vazhavan). It was constructed on the river Kaveri. That flows through Thanjavur. This dam plays an vital role in supplying water to the nearby villages of Thanjavur. The chola king has the idea of storing the water by constructing a dam.
