Kakkayam Dam, Hydroelectric power station and concrete gravity dam in Kozhikode, India.

The Kakkayam Dam spans across the Kuttiyadi River at 750 meters above sea level, featuring multiple tunnels connected to power generation facilities.

The construction of Kakkayam Dam established a vital component of the Kuttiyadi Hydro Electric Project, which now maintains an installed capacity of 225 megawatts.

The dam's location near Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary creates opportunities for local communities to engage in environmental conservation and wildlife monitoring activities.

Visitors can reach the dam by traveling 51 kilometers from Kozhikode city, with regular transportation services available from the railway station and airport.

The dam system incorporates three interconnected power stations, including the main facility, a tail race powerhouse, and a small hydroelectric project.
