Badamba Reservoir
Fourteen kilometres from Badamba, this small reservoir sits within a landscape of greenery and village scenery that feels unhurried and local. Walking the dam crest, watching the spillway, and finding a good photo angle are the main draws here. There was no entry fee at last update, and parking is available nearby. November through February is the sweet spot — the surroundings are green but the weather is cool enough to enjoy a slow afternoon.
