Salem & Mettur Dam Day Trip
Salem is a working city with a surprising amount around it. The Mettur Dam, one of the oldest large dams in India, holds the Kaveri in a reservoir that stretches for kilometres, with a park and a view of the Stanley Reservoir. In town, the Kottai Mariamman temple and the Anna Park make for an easy afternoon. Salem is also the mango and steel town of the state, and the drive out gives a good look at it.
