Khandwaari Dam
Khandwaari Dam is a significant irrigation project and a scenic tourist spot located in the Belhar block. The dam is built across a local tributary, creating a massive reservoir that serves the agricultural needs of the surrounding villages. Beyond its utility, the dam has become a popular destinat ion for those seeking tranquility. The vast expanse of blue water against the backdrop of the Banka hills creates a stunning visual. The dam's walkway offers a great spot for evening strolls, where one can witness breathtaking sunsets. During the winter months, the reservoir attracts several species of Migratory Birds, making it a minor hotspot for bird enthusiasts. The area is relatively quiet compared to other tourist spots, offering a sense of solitude. The breeze coming off the water provides relief during the warmer months. Local fishermen can often be seen in their small boats, adding a rustic charm to the landscape. It is a testament to how engineering can coexist with and even enhance the natural beauty of a rural landscape.
