Tilaiya Dam

Tilaiya Dam is one of those places where you can come for a short outing and end up staying much longer than planned. Built across the Barakar River, the reservoir spreads across a beautiful landscape of water, hills and greenery. Take a boat ride across the lake and explore the charming Whispering Island, which is home to a jungle crocodile project, or head towards Chacha Nehru Island, a lovely spot for a family picnic. You can spend your time boating, walking around, enjoying the views, having a picnic or simply sitting beside the water and watching the hills reflected in the lake. The combination of islands, boating and the peaceful surroundings gives Tilaiya a character that feels more like a complete day-out destination than just a dam. Jharkhand Tourism specifically highlights the islands and boating experience here.
