A large concrete dam creating the expansive Kabini reservoir, offering wide water views and proximity to Nagarahole National Park's wildlife corridor.
The Kabini Dam, also known as the Kabini Reservoir Project, is a large dam built across the Kabini River, a major tributary of the Cauvery. Located near Beechanahalli village, this concrete gravity dam creates a huge reservoir that is the area's main attraction. Visitors come here to see the vast expanse of water that stretches to the horizon, often with the forested hills of the Western Ghats in the background. The primary experience is the view from the dam top or the adjacent road, offering a panoramic look at the collected water and the surrounding landscape.
