The Story

Patratu Dam, also known as Nalkarni Dam, is a scenic reservoir formed by the Nalkari River and surrounded by green hills. Take a ticket and enjoy the park and boating experience at the dam. You can also take a boat to the island located in the centre of the dam and spend time exploring the island. The island features a beautiful park and restaurants where visitors can relax, enjoy food and take in the surrounding water and hill views. The dam is also a popular picnic destination, with particularly beautiful views during sunrise and sunset. Boating has been available at Patratu Dam since 2010.
