Hidkal Dam Karnataka

Hidkal dam is not just place, it is heaven on earth! We spent 14years and all the good memories from this place. School, highschool, temples, IB, Dam and above all friends and teachers who shaped our future! There is no words to describe this place.

Good to visit this place when dams doors were open. Amazing view . You can see it from front. No need of any permission.

Raja Lakhamagouda dam, also known as Hidkal dam, is a dam constructed across the Ghataprabha River in the Krishna River basin.

It is an earthen and masonry dam which caters to the Irrigation needs for over 8,20,000 acres, and Hydel power generation.[1] It is constructed as a part of the Ghataprabha Irrigation project which was completed in three phases and finished in 2009. The dam is named after Raja Lakhamagouda Sardesai, philanthropist and Zamindar of Vantamuri.

Beautiful place, good place to spend in the evening. Very quiet and peaceful place with lush greenary. Sunset is absolutely mind blowing.

Hidkal Dam also known as Raja Lakhamagouda Dam across Ghataprabha River with 10 gates is the largest dam in Belgaum district. Gates were closed during the time of visit in February month. But quite a nice spot around Hukkeri for its bluish reservoir and lush green gardens.

Good place for making barbeque with evening sunset. And also decent rooms available.

Awesome view. The place is well maintained too.

Great nature view and very clean place.

Awesome place for photography & for sankranti visit

Water reservoir across river Ghataprabha. Worth visiting during the mansoons, when the reservoir is full and the dam sluice gates are open. It is an experience to view the water front and the landscape from the walk way across the dam, but for security reasons the walk way he's been closed for general public. Nice view from the hill close by. There is a garden/ park close by maintained by the irrigation department.

It's a Sagar like reservoir on the way to Gokak waterfall s. We had lunch( brought from home) here. A good garden is well maintained. We were lucky to watch water flowing from all the eight gates.

Huge like ocean ... You can't see a end from one side 🌊.In the peak of rainy season the dam place is windy and dam water seems like sea tides.
