Nagarjuna Sagar Dam is one of the largest dams built in Asia, located

km from Hyderabad, Nagarjunasagar is an important irrigation dam on river
Krishna. This is the tallest and biggest masonry dam in the world. It
creates the third largest man-made lake in the world. Apart from this,
remains of the Buddhist civilization dating back to the 3rd century A.D,
are seen on an island called Nagarjunakonda located in the midst of the
reservoir. These relics of Buddhist civlization found during excavations
unveiled a great Mahachaitya, the most sacred of the stupas. An inscription
in Brahmi characters states that the sacred relics of Lord Buddha lie
within the Mahachaitya.
Ethipothala Waterfalls: Located 11 Kms. from the Nagarjunasagar is the
picturesque Ethipothala waterfalls. The cascading waterfalls are formed
by the water flowing down from Chandravanka Mountains from a height of
about 70 feet and are a spectacle worth watching. They are a radiant sight
of the power and beauty of nature. This is a famous picnic spot, set in
a beautiful valley. Here the Chandravankas stream plunges into a lagoon.
The rising place of the river Chandra Vanka is at Muthukuru, on the eastern
part of the Nallamala hills. The river falls from a great height before
it joins the Tumurukota reserve forest and this place called "Ethipothala
water falls" finally joins the Krishna river.Anupu Ruins: Anupu is
located 4-km from Nagrajuna Sagar. It is one of the famous Buddhist Relics
