Travel Tips Of Lakya Dam
Sringeri, Karnataka, India
General Details: Lakya Dam is a unique engineering marvel built across the Lakya River, a tributary of the Bhadra River. Unlike traditional dams built for irrigation or power, this was constructed as a "tailing dam" by the Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Limited (KIOCL) to collect sludge and waste from m ining operations. Since the ban on mining in 2005, the dam has transformed into a serene lake surrounded by the lush forests of the Kudremukh range. The water has a distinct greenish-blue tint due to the mineral deposits at the bottom. The dam stands 100 meters high and covers an area of about 572 hectares. It is strictly monitored, and entry is often restricted to specific hours in the late afternoon. The backdrop of the dam is characterized by high mountain ridges and dense forest canopies. It is a quiet spot where the only sound is the whistling wind and distant bird calls. The site offers a somber reminder of the industrial history of this ecological zone. Visitors can walk along the embankment to enjoy the reflection of the hills in the still water. It is a great spot for those who appreciate the intersection of man-made structures and natural beauty. The area around the dam is a prime habitat for wild elephants and leopards, so caution is advised. There are no commercial stalls or shops here, maintaining its "untouched" feel. It is one of the few places where you can see how nature heals itself after industrial activity.:
