Detail InformationEdit

The Chamera Lake is built over the River Ravi and supports the hydroelectricity project in the region. The Chamera Lake is the artificial reservoir built along with the dam and due to the absence of aquatic life in the lake, it is the hub of various water sports near the city of Dalhousie. The vast expanse of the Chamera Dam reservoir which is also known as the Bhadrika Lake flaunts the presence of Motor Boats. The motor boat joy ride over such a huge water body is a onetime experience.
