Once the muddy monsoon inflow has settled down, the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam can be a good place to spend a day.
The huge reservoir acquires a blueish tinge and the bare rocks and small islands give it an ethereal look.

Ruins of centuries old temples were also unearthed which have been reconstructed on the island.
