Bhimsagar Dam

Jhalawar, Rajasthan, India
Bhimsagar Dam is a major irrigation project and a popular picnic spot located on the Ujad River. It is situated near the ruins of the ancient city of Mau Borda, which was once the capital of the Khichi Chauhans. The dam is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a tranquil environment far from the c ity's hustle. It serves as a vital water source for the agricultural lands of the Jhalawar district. The area is rich in history, with remnants of old temples and palaces scattered nearby. During the monsoon season, the sight of water gushing from the gates is truly spectacular. It is a preferred spot for local families to enjoy a weekend outing amidst nature. The reservoir also attracts various species of migratory birds during the winter months. The drive to the dam is scenic, passing through rural Rajasthan's mustard fields and small hamlets. It represents a perfect blend of modern engineering and natural beauty, making it a top leisure destination in the region.
