The Tungabhadra Dam, also known as Pampa Sagar, is constructed across the Tungabhadra River, The dam is in Hosapete, Vijayanagara district of Karnataka. It is a multipurpose dam serving irrigation, electricity generation, flood control, etc. This is a joint project of erstwhile Hyderabad state and erstwhile Madras Presidency when the construction was started;later it became a joint project of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh after its completion in 1953. The main architect of the dam was Vepa Krishnamurthy, ISE, Engineer-in-Chief, Hyderabad State, after Police Action, an engineer from Madras PWD. There is a dispute between Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka for the water of Tungabhadra reservoir. He argued for the stability and longevity of the Dam, built of Surki Mortar viz a combination of mud and limestone. Apart from Mullaperiyar Dam, it's the only non-cement dam in the country and has withstood the test of time for over 70 years, and may well cross many more decades.

Good place to visit if you are in the area. Although there was not much water in the dam, the garden and recreation area is beautiful. Definitely worth visiting but choose the season carefully. Best to visit after rainy season. There's a musical fountain which is only activated in the evening. You can spend a few hours relaxing. There's food available and also boating in a small lake. If you want time away from cities, you can stay in KSTDC hotel just outside the entrance to the dam. Good place to stop off if in a long journey, you can spend enjoyable evening at the dam, stay in the hotel and continue your journey next day

Nice place to see the nature is wonderful

Magnificent view of dam backwater. The place is well maintained and is recommended for early morning jog and walks. It's a great place to find calm and peace . Can witness beautiful sunrise and set where water acts as a mirror with makes it more adorable.

Back waters looks awesome as sea , You can take your car here , good place for hangover . You can enjoy here with family and friends . From the top of the hills it looks awesome , lot air pressure is there at top , You will get some kind of sea feeling s here . Lot of parking space is available here .

Tunga bhadra dam is well organised place and view of dam is awesome. Need to walk for a km but it's worth by enjoying both sides of the places. Bus is also there but walk is best. Sunset is best to watch. Toiletries and washrooms to be improved.

Beautiful view from here. Especially from August to October. Good place for a walk any time of the year. This place has a lot of scope for improvement. I wish there was a hotel here. Lake view and Indira guest house could be opened for the public.

Tungabhadra dam amazing place

Very beautiful place

You get a nice view of the majestic Dam. Best part is a garden dedicated to the Chief Engineer who was the main brain behind the project. For the first time instead of a politician, a real unheard of hero has been honoured and a statue of this great man stands proudly for all to see.

Especially in this year 2019 the dam opened it's gates thrice . At the time of opening of the gates it's very nice to see the dam and park

One of the beautiful dams I have been in Karnataka… entry charges are ₹10 per person and parking ₹30. As you enter there are buses that will take you to the view point. You can walk too its your choice. We decided to walk and enjoy the place. The dam could be seen from a far distance . You can take a walk at the place. For a panoramic view you need to climb around 100-200 steps upwards. The view from there is magnificent. Also there is a government guest house for government officials. It is suitable to visit in the evening. Also there is a TB dam garden where there are musical fountain show everyday at 7pm and ends at 7.30. There’s also an aquarium for which there is a extra ticket of ₹10 per person.

This is basically the backwaters of the tungbadra River. There is a small walk way around this area and there are benches to sit. A good place for a quick stop over.

Perfect place to visit during evening. Very beautiful to watch. Bus service is also good. There is also a park with lot of things to do inside. Well maintained.
