Tehri Dam Water Sports

The Tehri Dam, one of the tallest dams in the world, has created a massive emerald-green reservoir known as Tehri Lake. In recent years, this has been developed into a premier water sports destination, rivaling coastal areas. Located in the hills, enjoying water sports here offers a unique backdrop of mountains.

The Tehri Lake Festival attracts adventure lovers from all over. The list of activities is endless: Jet Skiing, Motor Boating, Banana Boat Rides, Bandwagon rides, and Kayaking. For the more adventurous, there is Knee Boarding and Wake Boarding.

The standout feature is the floating huts and houseboats, offering an accommodation experience similar to Kashmir or Kerala, but with a Himalayan twist. Staying on the water, surrounded by hills, is incredibly peaceful.

The scale of the dam is awe-inspiring. Standing on the viewpoint and looking at the massive wall of water and engineering is humbling. The water is deep and calm, perfect for speed boats to zoom across.

It is less crowded than Rishikesh or Nainital, offering a cleaner and more exclusive experience. The government is aggressively promoting it as an adventure hub.

Visiting Tehri Lake is a modern adventure experience in Uttarakhand, showcasing how engineering can create new tourism avenues.

It’s perfect for families and groups looking for fun splashy action in the hills.
