Bhoothathankettu Dam is an attraction near The Salim Ali bird Sanctuary at Thattekad. It is situated in the village of Pindimana, about 10 km away from the town of Kothamangalam. It is a beautiful picnic spot with boating facilities in the dam. It is a refreshing experience to visit this centre promoting eco tourism. Legend says that it were the ghosts or the spirits who had built the natural boundary of hills and forests around this place in Kerala, and that’s how the place got the name Bhoothathankettu that means, fort of the spirits. The rocks that are placed on both sides of the dam are unshaped and thus connote the work of monsters or ghosts.
