Tips

This place is definitely a must visit especially during the rainy season You will feel awesome when all the four gates of the dam are open.
during summer there will be no much water so it's not the ideal place to visit during summer.
park your vehicle a little distance away and not too close to the dam to avoid rush/congestion.
This place too is slightly away from the main settlement in Kushalnagar, There is no food and water available near dam. so carry food in case you plan to stay longer.
