BRP Dam
Local short name for the Bhadra River Project Dam at Lakkavalli
Worth being upfront about this one: BRP is simply the local short name for the Bhadra River Project Dam near Lakkavalli, and TripAdvisor's listing for “BRP Dam” refers to the exact same structure covered in more detail on this site's Bhadra River Project Dam page. We've kept both here since that's how the district's tourist board separates them, but there's only one dam to visit.
Visitors who know it by this name tend to come for sunset views over the water and, at times, water-sports activity on the reservoir, alongside its role as a gateway to the Bhadra Tiger Reserve.
Highlights
- BRP stands for Bhadra River Project — this is the same dam listed elsewhere on this page as “Bhadra River Project Dam”
- A popular spot locally for sunset views and water sports on the reservoir
- Borders the Bhadra Tiger Reserve
Getting there
Same access as the Bhadra River Project Dam — outside current Malnad Yatra bus coverage, reached via Bhadravati or Tarikere by private vehicle.
