Manchinbele Dam, Bengaluru

Its a perfect picnic spot, secluded from the din of the city. There are places with plenty of shade to pitch your tent and spend a quiet afternoon.

Stroll around the place to see the dam, built against river Arkavathi near to savana durga. The NABARD assisted project basically acts as a step down dam to the Tippagondanahalli reservoir and has three gates to control the water flow.

Modern equipment like solar powered lights have been installed. The water stored in the dam is primarily used for irrigating the land around it. Plans are also under way to build canals from the dam to irrigate the arid and rocky soil towards Ramnagara and Channapattana.
