Banasur Sagar Dam is located in Kalpett city and built on a tributary of the Kabini River. This dam has been constructed according to the Banasur Sagar Project.
This project started in 1979, mainly done for regular water supply for those areas which comes under drought conditions during summer. The Banasur Dam is the largest dam in India and the second largest dam in Asia. This dam has been made very strong by the use of stones and rocks.
When this dam was under construction, the lower areas of the land were submerged in its reservoir, resulting in the creation of several small islands there. These islands offer beautiful views of the Banasura hills.
Many people use this dam to climb the beautiful mountains of the Western Ghats. Therefore, this dam is a major attraction among tourists mainly foreign tourists.
