Welcome, I am in a
Welcome, I am in a small yet attracting park out over here, very near to the bigest dam Hirakud, located at a distance of 16 km from Samabalpur, Orissa.
To get the overall best view you have to climb upto a hilltop. There are two ways to go to the hilltop. Either avail the ropeway or go by vehicles.
As you go hire up, you can see some beautiful views. I sugest, one should come here in summer to get the best views.
Once you climb upto the tower, you can see the Bird's-eye view of Hirakud Dam.
Hirakud Dam is built across the Mahanadi River, is the longest earthen dam in the world. Behind the dam extends a massive lake.
This location is in the northen part of the dam.
The Hirakud Dam is a man-made structure of earth, concrete and masonry.
The dam regulates the flow of the Mahanadi River and produces hydroelectricity through several hydroelectric plants.
In order to make this massive water body several temples have been submarged.
In the summer season, the receding water of the dam makes the structures become visible. Many temples have been destroyed after 58 years of underwater existence.
There are several islands in this massive lake, one such island is unique, know as Cattle Island within Hirakud Reservoir
Cattle Island is located in one of the extreme points of Hirakud Reservoir, a natural wonder. It is Completely inhabited by wild animals, no humans stay in the island. The island is a submerged hill. Before the construction of Hirakud Dam it was a developed village.
During the resettlement period, villagers left some of their cattle behind; when the dam construction was over, the cattle settled on the hilltop with dense forest, they are larger than tame cattle, and almost all are white in colour.
The main purpose of the Hirakud Dam was to check the massive floods that were affecting a large part of coastal Odisha. But, the construction of the dam greatly affected the natives of the western part of Odisha. Nearly 150,000 people were affected by the Hirakud project and nearly 22,000 families were displaced.
At the northern end, provided the perfect view of the mighty Hirakud dam along with the incredible expanse of water you can enjoy from this tower.
The dam with the channel provides an ideal environment for the wildlife.
Best TIME TO VISIT is January to December though my sugesion would be to visit when there is clear sky.
