Chakmaghat Barrage View
The Chakmaghat Barrage is a vital irrigation and water management project built across the Khowai River near Teliamura. Beyond its functional purpose, it has evolved into a popular recreational spot due to the vast expanse of water and the scenic hills that frame the horizon. The sight of water gus hing through the gates during the rainy season is spectacular and attracts many local onlookers. During the winter, the water becomes calm and reflects the clear blue sky, making it a peaceful place for an evening walk. The barrage serves as a bridge connecting different villages, and the walkway on top offers a great vantage point for viewing the river valley. It is one of the most accessible tourist spots for those staying in Teliamura. The surrounding area has been developed with small parks and seating arrangements to cater to the growing number of visitors.
