Maithon Dam

Maithon Dam is one of those places where a simple outing can easily turn into a full day of exploring. The huge reservoir, built across the Barakar River, is surrounded by green hills and dotted with beautiful islands that can be explored during a boat ride. Maithon Island, Spoon Island and the other small islands around the reservoir add a special charm to the landscape, with the boat journey itself becoming one of the highlights of the visit. You can take a boat across the lake, enjoy the breeze, see the islands from close by and spend some peaceful time surrounded by water and greenery. After boating, you can relax by the reservoir, enjoy a picnic, take photographs or watch the sunset. The nearby Kalyaneshwari Temple and other attractions make Maithon a great destination for a complete day trip with family or friends.
