Visit to Nagarjune Sagar Dam

This sunday the 9th of December 2007 I went to see Nagarjune Sagar Dam and associated places. I was accompanied by Manas Karmakar ( Manas Da) . We took a bus from Hyderabad MG bus station at 6:30AM and reached Nagarjune Sagar at 9.45AM. It is almost 165 km from Hyderabad. We took an auto to the Launch Ghat and took a boat to an island which was well decorated by APTDC. There was a museum in that island contaning 3rd-4th century AD buddhist artifacts.The launch ride was enjoying as we were passing through beautiful land scapes and placid blue waters of the reservoir.After returning from the island we hired an auto and went to Etipotala falls just 18Kms from that place. There was 2 water falls and the place was picturesque.We boarded the return bus at 3:50 PM and was back in Hyderabad by 9:00 PM. It was a memorable week end.
