Pykara is the name of a village and river located 19 km from Ooty in the Indian State of Tamil Nadu. The Pykara River is considered very sacred by the Todas. It rises at Mukurthi peak, flows northwards, and then turns to the west after reaching the edge of the plateau. The river flows through Murkurti, Pykara and Glen Morgan dams, and forms part of an important hydro-electric power project. The river flows over a series of waterfalls, the last tow of 55 meters and 61 meters being known as Pykara falls.
