Tungabhadra Dam
A major reservoir and engineering landmark on the Tungabhadra River near the Hampi region.
About Tungabhadra Dam
The Tungabhadra Dam lies upstream of Hampi and creates a large reservoir surrounded by the dry-deccan landscape. It is more of an extended drive than a core Hampi monument and works best when paired with a broader Hospet-side itinerary.
