Maneri Dam is a massive run of the river concrete gravity dam built across the Bhagirathi River in Maneri village, located roughly 15 kilometers northeast of Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand. Serving as the primary diversion structure for the Maneri Bhali Hydroelectric Project Stage I, the dam channels Himalayan glacial meltwaters through an 8.6 kilometer headrace tunnel to generate clean electricity at the Tiloth power station.
Flanked by steep forested mountain slopes, the reservoir behind the dam creates an expansive pool of emerald green water. Travelers driving along the Uttarkashi to Gangotri highway frequently pause at roadside viewpoints to enjoy the calm water mirror against rugged Himalayan ridgelines and watch water surging through the spillway gates during monsoon months.
Truth is, the vivid contrast between the turquoise reservoir waters and towering dark pine hills makes for fantastic roadside photography. It provides a peaceful nature break along the busy Chardham highway in Uttarakhand.
The best time to visit Maneri Dam is from March to June and September to November when valley weather is clear and road journeys remain smooth.
