The Story

Tenughat Dam is a beautiful place to spend a slow, peaceful day around the water. Built across the Damodar River, the huge reservoir stretches across nearly 30 sq. km, with the surrounding landscape giving you plenty of open views and fresh air. You can take a boat ride across the reservoir, sit by the water, enjoy a picnic with family or friends, or simply watch the evening sky change over the lake. Winter is especially pleasant here, and the wide reservoir makes the place feel much bigger and quieter than you might expect. If you are travelling through the Bokaro-Ramgarh side of Jharkhand, Tenughat is a lovely stop for a relaxed day outdoors. Jharkhand Tourism specifically highlights boating and winter picnics here.
