Masanjor Water Reservoir
Dumka, Jharkhand, India
Details: The Masanjor Water Reservoir is a massive man-made lake created by the construction of the Massanjore Dam. It covers an expansive area of over 16,000 acres when full, providing a breathtaking view of blue water surrounded by lush green hills. The reservoir is a vital source of irrigation fo r both Jharkhand and West Bengal, but for tourists, it is a haven of peace and natural beauty. The water is exceptionally clear, reflecting the sky and the surrounding small hillocks. It is a popular spot for migratory birds during the Winter months, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. The atmosphere is quiet, away from the hustle of the city, and the cool breeze coming off the water makes it a refreshing getaway. The reservoir's banks are dotted with rocks and small sandy patches where people can sit and enjoy the sunset. It is often compared to the lakes of Kashmir due to the hilly backdrop and the vast expanse of water.
