How you reach this dam is another beautiful attraction as it is a walkway to the waterfall. This gives a feeling that you are walking on the small lake present beside the walkway through which you reach the top to see the waterfall.
However, you will be more excited to visit the third best place here which is the Madpan view point. This is just a few minutes away from the lake from where you get to see the best of nature.
