With calm waters on one side and fingers of limestone on the other, views from the shore of this reservoir are picturesque. The western bank is lined by casual restaurants and food stands, most with thatched-roof rafts and piers for those who wish to nibble out over the water. You can also take a swim or float on an inner tube. It's about 5km east of the 'Peacock Temple'.
