Nagarjuna Sagar

About Nagarjuna Sagar

Nagarjuna Sagar is home to the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, one of the largest masonry dams in the world, built across the Krishna River. The massive dam creates a huge reservoir, which is a popular tourist attraction. A key highlight is Nagarjunakonda, a river island in the reservoir that houses relocated ancient Buddhist ruins and a museum. The island was once a major center for Buddhist learning. A boat trip to the island to explore the museum and the ancient stupas is a fascinating experience.
