Pechiparai is a large reservoir and dam located in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, built across the Kodayar River between 1897 and 1906 by a European engineer under the rule of the Maharaja of Travancore. It is the largest dam in the district and primarily supports irrigation and drinking water needs for Kanyakumari and parts of Tirunelveli.

Surrounded by the scenic Western Ghats, the dam not only benefits local agriculture but also holds cultural significance with the nearby Pechiamman temple, dedicated to a deity believed to safeguard the dam and its waters. The region around Pechiparai features dense forests inhabited by local tribes and diverse wildlife.

Visitors often come to enjoy the picturesque landscapes, boat rides on the reservoir, and the tranquil natural environment, especially during the monsoon season when the water levels rise. The area remains relatively rustic with limited tourist infrastructure, making it more suitable for nature lovers and adventurous travelers.
