Bhakra Nangal Dam is something tremendous, stupendous and something which will shake you up when you see it. It truly represents the symbol of India’s progress and rightly described as “The Temple Of Resurgent India” by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of Independent India. It’s one of the biggest multipurpose projects in the world positioned at the close proximity of Nangal Punjab and Naya Nangal. It is covered by lush green surroundings of Aravalli and Shivalik hills having diverse flora and fauna to watch out. Naina Devi temple is just 8 kms above the dam. Bhakra Nangal Dam is a 740 Ft. high concrete gravity dam across the Sutlej River, near the border of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in Northern India. It’s counted among the highest dams of Asia. When it comes to Bhakra Dam tourism, it is a major attraction of tourists from all over the world.
