Travel Tips Of Rakaskop Dam/Reservoir
Belagavi, Karnataka, India
Overview: Rakaskop is a picturesque village located on the banks of the Markandeya river, just a short drive from the city. The place gets its unique name from a local legend about a "Rakkasa" (Giant) who is said to have lived on a hillock near the village. The primary attraction here is the Rakasko p Dam, which was built to harness the river's water and supply it as the main source of drinking water for the city of Belagavi. The reservoir created by the dam is a vast, serene body of water surrounded by lush green hills and fertile farmland. It has become a favorite weekend getaway for city dwellers looking for a quick nature retreat. The atmosphere is quiet, with the only sounds being the chirping of birds and the gentle lapping of water against the dam walls. The area is particularly beautiful during and after the monsoon when the river is in full flow and the surrounding vegetation is at its most vibrant. Visitors can walk along the dam wall, enjoy the views of the water, and explore the nearby hillock which features a cave said to be the home of the giant. The site is not overly commercialized, offering a raw and authentic nature experience. It is a great place for soul-seeking individuals or families who want to spend quality time together without the distractions of a busy tourist spot. The sunset over the reservoir is a sight to behold, painting the water in hues of gold and crimson.:
