Taliperu Project
The Taliperu Project is a medium-sized irrigation dam built across the Taliperu River, a tributary of the Godavari. Located near the border of Telangana and Chhattisgarh, it plays a crucial role in the agriculture of the Cherla region. The project is surrounded by thick forests and tribal hamlets, o ffering a glimpse into the rural and natural landscape of the district. During the peak monsoon season, the sight of water gushing through the open crest gates is spectacular. It serves as a peaceful spot for locals to visit for day trips. The area is also significant due to its proximity to historical sites related to the Ramayana, making it a blend of modern engineering and ancient lore.
