    Gobind Sagar Lake is actually a reservoir on the river Sutlej, formed after the construction of hydel dam at Bhakra. It is named after the revered Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh guru. The reservoir has become a popular tourist destination and is a great relaxation point too. It is hugely responsible for attracting tourists in and around the region.

    It’s a wonder-lake/reservoir, formed by the Bhakta Dam, it is so big comprising kms of area, i went there early morning the saw the clouds ☁️ on top of the lake. Wonderful scenery. There are many points of this reservoir you can visit, also can do water sports there. It’s a monsoon season so water is not blue it’s yellowish due to sand and soil.

    The Bhakra Dam's reservoir is called Gobind Sagar Lake. A good place in the lap of the nature to stop over for some time when you return from Naina devi temple. You must go for boating. You can hire a personal motor boat for Rs. 400 for your group/family for 15 minutes. There is no proper way to go to the boat station. Its very difficult for aged people to go down there and its risky too. I have seen many people slipping on the way to boat station. Water is clean and the nature mountains and all the surrounding is simply amazing. You will enjoy here in the lap of the nature. Must try the fresh fish at the shop near dam. Fresh fish from bhakra waters is served here.

    Beautiful lake with lovely sunset and sunrise. This lake encloses some royal history of Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh. The temples and many more things made by kings in old times. Which are down into the lake due to the rise in water level but are clearly visible in summers. People enjoy boating and fishing in this lake. This lake is situated on the Sutlej river.
