Banasura Sagar Dam
Banasura Sagar Dam is a picturesque destination in Wayanad, known for its sprawling reservoir of clear water surrounded by lush green hills and dotted with tiny islands. It's a photographer's delight and one of the most spellbinding places to visit in Wayanad.
The speciality of Banasura Sagar Dam is that it's the largest earthen dam in India. Mounds of stones and boulders have been placed together to form a strong embankment. Built across River Karamanathodu, a tributary of River Kabini, the dam, its reservoir, and the small islands create a calming visual against the backdrop of majestic hills.
The view of the expansive reservoir from the hilltop is truly surreal. Whether you're an adventure seeker or simply looking for a peaceful spot to relax, Banasura Sagar Dam has something for everyone.
