                Narakakkanam is a rural area , located in Idukki in Kerala . Which is also known for off road riding ,but most popular for this 1.5 KM underground tunnel.This tunnel is actually created for passing water from living area to the dam.On the monsoon season this tunnel is fully filled up with water and the journey is not possible. The one end of this tunnel is the human living area and the far end is the forest.When we start journey from one end ,we are only able to see a white dot , and that white dot is the light from the other end.It's better to go as a team and to have some lights on your hand ,because some cold water snakes and bats are present in this tunnel. This tunnel is created by drilling bottom of a giant rock.Walking trough the tunnel is a great experience,the cold water stream will make your legs freeze and the presence of bats will make a horror feeling.When you reach the middle of the tunnel both of the ends are visible like white dots.When you approach the far end  you are able to see the beauty of the forest.The cold water stream is turned in to a water fall on the forest side and finally this water stream is join up with dam.This forest side is a living place for huge no of wild animals,especially the wild elephants and mlav(a kind of big deer), they are using this dam side to drink water.So be careful about them.If you don't have much practice on swimming then never try to step in to the dam.Just keep in mind that this a forest side and You will not get any medical help.
