A massive hydroelectric dam on the Chenab River, offering impressive views of its large reservoir and the surrounding mountainous landscape.
The Baglihar Dam is a massive run-of-the-river power project built on the Chenab River. For visitors, it's a spectacle of modern engineering set against a dramatic backdrop of rugged mountains. The main feature is the huge concrete gravity dam that holds back the river, creating a large, deep blue reservoir. The sheer scale of the structure is impressive, especially when viewed from the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway which runs nearby.
