    It's a dam located on "Gosthani River" which supplies water to Vizag City! When you travel to araku take a visit to this dam. The dam will be visible from the main road but, if you actually want the full view you need to go forward a bit and take left from there or you can actually ask the locals or visitors about the route from the bridge. And you need to go through the stairs and you can have the view! It's a pleasant view It's better to visit this place during rainy season and while dam gates are open.. You can visit this place with friends and family also. It's been a picnic spot also. No places around this where you can get food. So, you need to carry if you want to eat! Don't get into the water. Stay safe! ❤️

    The reservoir that quenches the thirst of every vizagite the majestic Gostani river is what brings the water here so tourism here is like there are mountains around and so peaceful and calm with no disturbance around there is boating inside the dam and they take u around the mountains the scenic views and peace of mind will make us Happy and when the sunsets at the place it becomes more beautiful the water reflects the orange rays of the sun ..here I'm attaching some glimpses

    Take a 8 kms detour on your way to Araku and visit this place. Either you can view it from bridge on your way or go to other side and do a walk on the reservoir and seeother side of the catchment. Drive is also nice....fig trees on either side of the and small mountains on all the sides.

    Worthy to visit. Govt is not at all maintaining well as it is a holiday spot. Needs more development as a site seeing place. At least private firms can undertake development. Nice place to spend for friends and besties.

    It became one of the best memory in my college days. I visited the tatipudi reservoir with my diploma classmates during the last academic days. The boating experience gives a memorable day to me. It was the best place suited for all family trips, friends and picnic. Experience the reservoir and nature is a gift. The price for the boating also very reasonable

    It's an nice place to visit ... Make sure that it was sourended by rainy before some days because you need to go for boating then only you will enjoy it ... If it is rainy they stopped boating ... So make sure to go normal days and enjoy the beautiful spot with your loved one ... Had an great day ...

    Entry gates were closed..maybe it is a danger prone zone... but it's a very tourist centric spot which has to be developed by the tourism dept to uplift the revenue by making the residing hills into trekking spots and boating on the reservoir....it's undoubtedly a serene beauty left behind by the negligence of tourism...no minimum facilities were developed there leaving a black mark on the district tourism.

    It's a nice place to chill if it is not sunny. Boating and any other activities that were there has been shut down due to covid

    Located around 20 mins away from Vizag-Araku main road, this is actually the spot where you can visit the gates of the Thatipudi reservoir built on Gosthani river. This is a bridge built over the flow of the gated river. You may park your vehicle on the roadside and click some snaps. The view is not that spectacular. To get a better scenic beauty, it is advisable to drive further for 2-3 mins and take left towards the watch tower. Overall verdict- it’s better to head for the watchtower directly instead of taking a halt at this location.

    The construction dates back to 1962. The Reservoir is a major drinking water source to Visakhapatnam apart from other habitations and irrigation. Maintenance of the tank bund is not good and at some places the parpet wall is also tilted.

    This dam is awesome as it is so large in area and I wondered how large it was. It's a very large dam. The best time to visit this dam morning or afternoon as no one is allowed to visit this dam at evening time due to some reasons.

    Good place to walk on the bridge from one corner to the other, watching the reservoir water flow from one place to other. You can go alone if you want to have some piece of mind of can go with your group to enjoy the view of the reservoir.

    The reservoir lacks proper security and the rescuers team...and also the reservoir water smells very bad. There are no nearby food centres available so better to carry food.

    This is a very beautiful place.But,Sometimes tourists are not allowed. Incase of harsh weather or any accidents. One should be very careful here , don't risk your life for selfies. There will be no one here to help you out in case of emergency.And don't spoil the nature by throwing plastics and garbage.

    A must visit place with friends and family, best to visit during winter and rainy season

  • 4/5 Anurag 1 year ago on Google
    You have good views of the reservoir from the top. We had to climb the embankment to get to the top. The boat services were not operational. The approach road from araku road is very good. Good to see it while coming from araku if the time permits. Just takes 20 minutes to reach from the vizag araku road

    Very beautiful place to visit. It's enroute to Aaraku an Borra caves. They used to have boating but stopped during the covid pandemic. Best time to visit is during Monsoon.

    Thatipudi Reservoir nice place to visit and take photos and enjoy the view

  • 5/5 Vinay N V. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a spot that is both lovely and serene. I came here without knowing about the place, and I won't regret it. We passed by here on our way back from Borra Caves to Vizianagaram. When we went in the evening, there wasn't much of a crowd. You can get some fresh air if you are tired of breathing the same polluted air of the city (yes, Vizag is now getting populated and polluted). The area consists of a reservoir, a dam, and a body of water with some gorgeous scenery. The hilly surroundings make for a scenic landscape for your photos. You must park your vehicle on the village road and walk for around 150 metres to reach the sightseeing location. The sound of running water, birds chirping, and tranquil moments make it one of the best spots to visit in Vizag. When we asked the residents nearby why the gate was closed, they informed us that the location was no longer open to tourists. Prior to certain incidents, boating was permitted here, but it has now been permanently prohibited. Be careful because there are no security guards, rescuers, or anybody else watching over this area. Given the fact that a few CCTV cameras have been placed, anyone who believes they can enter without being noticed should reconsider because whatever that happens will be captured on camera.

    Its a worthy visit when you travel to araku. Best visit during day time. We can get 2views one from bottom and another from top. There is no proper maintainance near the reservoir.

    It's on the way to Jabalpur from Vyshakh, neat to Deomali. Not a frequent tourist place. It's silent place.

  • 5/5 ANJAN S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the good tourist spot . Good to see .

  • 5/5 Old S. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been visiting the reservoir occassionally through the years. The water constantly gushes out through the dam except in summer when it dries out. The lush of green mountains around the dam make it a perfect picturesque to find some peace of mind.
