Go with the Flow at Srinivasa Sagara
Water always calls out to people, from supporting the survival of ancient civilisations to providing respite from the summer heat, we cannot get enough of water bodies. So, if being cooped up in your house looks like a bad idea for the weekend, see if visiting a large body of water can help. The Srinivasa Sagara Dam is close enough for the residents of Bengaluru to have a blast. Unlike that trip to Goa or Thailand that has been in the works for years, this trip can be quick and easy, with little to no impact on your wallet as well.
With only 14 km to go from Chikkaballapur, Srinivasa Sagara can be a fun location to drop by during your weekend at Adi Farms. This ‘mini-waterfall’ also has a collection of other exciting places nearby that are worth checking out. If you are ready for a day of marvellous views and serenity, this is a trip you should embark on as soon as possible.
What to Expect at Srinivasa Sagara
If you are starting from Bengaluru, Srinivasa Sagara is only a two-hour drive away. And on the off-chance that you don’t feel like driving, that’s not a cause for worry because buses come pretty close to the reservoir, and you will only need to hire local transport to get to the spot. While driving down to the dam on your own, don’t hesitate to ask the locals for directions. Chances are high that you will get lost if you rely on GPS alone. If you have any trouble identifying the place, the locals can easily resolve the confusion because they tend to frequent the dam during the weekends. Early mornings are the best time to catch sight of the dam and the surroundings, but that is not to say that other times of the day take away the beauty of the place.
You will know that you are close to the Srinivasa Sagara when you see the lake crossing. The overflow from the dam causes the famed ‘mini-waterfall’ here. If you are particularly keen on catching sight of this, visiting the place during the summer might turn out futile. Any time of the year, Srinivasa Sagara is a location that calls out to people to visit and enjoy the rippling and flowing water. The surroundings of the dam are also excellent places to hang out and merely enjoy being outdoors. The monsoon can make the entire region look like a postcard. However, depending on the intensity of the showers, it can also get quite dangerous.
Nonetheless, a walkway here takes visitors through the neighbouring hills and gives the best view of the water. You will come across an old bridge that makes way for a lookout point that offers killer views of the reservoir. A photoshoot atop this walkway would not be amiss either. This is a golden opportunity for anyone looking to add to their snaps of nature. There is the Maheshwari Temple, next to the Srinivasa Sagara Dam, situated atop a hillock. You can brave the climb uphill if you wish to get some exercise and an elevated view of the reservoir. Keep in mind that the dam is not that far from the dense forests that hold the Dandiganahalli Dam, so maybe you can sneak a peek from your vantage point.
Regardless of the fabulous pictures you will click, you need to be alert while treading on this walkway and hillock because it can get slippery during some seasons. These attractions can make the drive worthwhile even if you didn’t get to see the ‘mini-waterfall’ due to a dry spell or any other reason.
Planning Ahead and Staying Safe
Planning is a crucial component in getting this trip right for all those looking for a fun time at Srinivasa Sagara. Firstly, if you would like to have some snacks during your time here, you need to stock up before you get here because there are no stores in the vicinity. The site can get warm in the summer, so be sure to have shades, umbrellas, and sunscreens with you as well.
The Srinivasa Sagara dam is a spectacular sight, no doubt. However, proceeding without caution has led to numerous accidents in the past. During your visit, ensure that you stay away from the slippery areas and the edges of the dam. Do not attempt swimming or partake in other risky activities while you are on the dam premises.
Keep the Fun Going
While you are at Srinivasa Sagara, there are numerous tourist sites nearby that can make your trip even more colourful. If you enter the Bangalore–Hyderabad National highway, you can easily make pit stops at Akkayamma Hill or Chikkajala Fort. For a touch of culture and architecture, make sure to check out the Moksha Ranga temple, also known as Rangasthala temple.
There is also a Lord Venkateswara temple and a 1,000-year-old Mallikarjuna temple near the Srinivasa Sagara Dam, the latter of which is popular for its statue of Lord Shiva. If you have had your fill of water bodies, there is a Sabbanahalli lake that you can drop by. This is a common tourist spot, and families frequent the site on Sundays to bask in the beauty of nature.
