Kali Dam & Reservoir

Dahod, Gujarat, India
Kali Dam, also known as the Kedareshwar Dam area, is one of the most picturesque locations near Dahod. It is a man-made reservoir built on the Kali River to support irrigation and water supply. The site is uniquely beautiful because of the Kedareshwar Mahadev temple located right on its banks. The combination of the vast water body, the rhythmic sound of the temple bells, and the surrounding low-lying hills creates a divine and peaceful atmosphere. During the monsoon, the dam often overflows, creating a beautiful waterfall effect that attracts thousands of tourists from nearby districts. The area is also popular for its biodiversity, with many local and migratory birds found near the water. It serves as a major weekend getaway for the people of Dahod, offering both spiritual solace and natural beauty. The reservoir's vastness makes it look like a mini-sea in the middle of the tribal heartland of Gujarat.
