Trip to Nagarjuna Sagar Dam

Hi all,,, welcome back and let me narrate my holiday trip on 26 Jan...

Me and my roomies planned to make a trip to Nagarjuna Sagar Dam.
we had booked the tickets in advance through APSRTC Tourism. On 26 Jan we had to wake up early @ 5:30 am in the morning, and believe me it was very cold in the early morning here in Hyderabad....

Then we reached YATRI NIVAS at 7:30 in the morning....the bus which we boarded was really good value for money. It wasn't a VOLVO, but was good to enjoy the trip for 3 hours that takes us to reach the Nagarjuna DAM.

Just after reaching the DAM we were served lunch. We made it quick on with the fishes and meals served.
Then we continued our bus trip towards the Launch Site, just b4 reaching it, our 'guide' had stopped the bus at a broken bridge off the road where we took pictures of the dam...

At Launch site, we boarded a boat big enough to transport abt 200 ppl. This boat runs across the river connecting the launch site and the Nagarjuna konda island situated in the midst of the dam water...ppl here is where i see river Krishna for the first time in my life, well i have seen them in indian maps as-well...

The trip on the boat was for abt an hour, it was pleasant sailing across the big Krishna river as we were also enjoying the scenic beauty in and outside the boat. we kept watching those big mountains as well....... well it would be easy for my partners to understand the whole big fun we had on the boat,,,,
Then we landed up on to the island which had nothing worth watching but a museum with all ruined old age sculptures and budha statues... it was bit boring and we made it out from there as early as possible but not b4 we took snaps along the river side..

While returning back from the island we were lucky enough to again enjoy watching even bigger mountains close by the water as we sailed back to the launch site in the boat.

After that we boarded the bus to reach another spot called "Ettiputalla falls"
This is a place on earth worth mentioning,,,, it had few beautiful water falls, we could watch them all from a distance over the cliff....., we spent another couple of hours over there b4 we left back to home.
The whole trip wasn't that bad, to regret not taking rest on a national holiday. hmmm i had brought my camcorder with me we took video of our trip... i shall upload the video as-well, so ppl keep watching...
