The Reservoir of Koraput
The Kolab Dam, also known as the Machkund Dam, is one of the most accessible tourist attractions near Koraput town. The dam was built on the Kolab River and forms a large, scenic reservoir surrounded by gentle hills and forest. Being just 12 km from our resort, it is ideal for an early morning or evening excursion.
The reservoir is popular for boat rides, peaceful walks along the water's edge, and bird watching. The calm blue waters reflecting the surrounding hills and the warm colours of sunrise and sunset make it a favourite spot for photographers.
