This is one of the unknown locations to all tourists in India; this dam side is totally full of greenery, full of water, full of places for adventurous tracking and peaceful everywhere.

When to reach near to this location from Itarasi, you have to take diversion from highway to dam location. The beautiful journey start from here.

I will start with snap from the roadside view during my journey.

After reaching here you can take rest at the guest house and after you can start your side seeing. First of all make program that you should be at dam side on evening or morning. I started my journey at evening for dam side. It is around 10 km from the guest house and reached there well before sunset and started viewing the ultimate colors created during sunset on water.

From dam location we gone to near by Shiva temple and then back to Guest house. In the guest house we have very nice view of the valley and nice place to sit and spend time with family and friends.

Morning I waked up with the aim of taking lots of nice scenery of sun rise in this valley.

after seen lots of places in India and out side India I was surprised as this place is not known even by the local people in near cities like Bhopal and Indore.

I travelled this place on 2'nd and 3'rd Feb 2006 with my family during my India Visit.
