The Sabua Dam’s beauty is encapsulated in the tourism slogans of Odisha: scenic, calm, and magnificent. The control reservoir is located in the Hindol block of the Dhenkanal district, roughly 90 kilometers from Bhubaneswar.
This concrete barrier’s building structure is serpentine. Even the present holding company’s name, “Sapua,” means “snake” in Latin. This dam’s splendor is breathtaking. Thousands of tourists attend every picnic.
The dam was erected on a local Nara River called “Sapua” in the Mahanadi Basin by the Odisha Department of Water Resources as a medium-sized irrigation project. This corresponds to the reservoir’s name, “Sabuya Dam.” In 2006, the dam was built.
Once a restricted area, this area has now proven to be a top choice for tourists for camping, sightseeing and picnics. It is also surrounded by the adjacent dense lobby forest, giving it an edge. “The frequency has increased in recent years, but there is a lack of basic facilities. The government should come forward and take the necessary precautions,” said Sydivia Behra, a local engineer with a university degree.
People from all over the state come here with their families to enjoy the beauty of this place and to pass the time. Rajesh Behera, a cyclist from Dhenkanal city, said: “The Sabua dam is a good choice for adventurers. The government should fix the roads as they become very dangerous.” As news of the beauty of this place spread, many adventurers rushed to the destination to get a glimpse of this ethereal place.
