The renowned Malampuzha Garden reconstructed at a cost of Rs.21.57 crore will be opened to public by Minister for Water Resources on February 3, 2012.
The inaugural function will be presided over by Malampuzha M.L.A and Leader of Opposition V.S. Achuthanandan.
The renovation work was taken up for giving a facelift to the prestigious Garden, a miniature of the world famous Mughal Garden.
The Garden built during the 1960s and 1970s in the Mughal Garden style was reconstructed to meet the modern taste of tourists.
The Japanese Park, Nandi Park, Malampuzha Yakshi, Krishna Park and music fountains attracted tourists.
A number of foreign tourists also visit Malampuzha Garden and the Reservoir, the biggest irrigation Dam in the State, to enjoy the picturesque view of this unique place that falls on the lap of Western Ghats.
The enchanting uphill and downhill in the nearby vicinity and the wonderful species of flora and fauna in Akamalavaram forests on the other side of the reservoir is another destination for tourists and nature lovers.
The Irrigation and Tourism Department officials have said that the reconstructed Malampuzha Garden and the recently renovated Rock Garden adjacent to it will attract more tourists to bring back the old glory of Malampuzha as a prime tourism centre in South India.
