Bhavanisagar Dam

     16 km from Sathyamangalam across the river Bhavani.  This dam was built only with sand.  People  visit the Bhavani Sagar Dam which presents a beautiful feast the eyes.  There is a swimming pool and a park.  Bhavani is known the world over for its blankets with floral designs.

Kodiveri Dam

     Kodiveri Dam is 10km from gobichettipalayam and 55km from Erode.  The entrance to the anicut at Kodiveri is a study in stunning contrast. On one side of the bridge, water flows without as much as a ripple.  The other side, it gushes with bottled fury.  Walk a little further to reach a vast expanse of water, and see it force itself through a layered surface hewn out of a rock face, taking on the shape of two frothy mini waterfalls 9thanks to the 4.6 meter drop down stream). Waiting bathers shout with joy under the spray.  Onlookers cannot help get wet too, the misty spray enveloping you in chillness.
