Pong Dam: A renowned Bird Sanctuary II Kangra II Himachal Pradesh
#pongvologe
The Pong Dam, also known as the Beas Dam, is an earth-fill embankment dam on the Beas River just upstream of Talwara in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. The purpose of the dam is water storage for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. As the second phase of the Beas Project, construction on the dam began in 1961 and was completed in 1974. At the time of its completion, the Pong Dam was the tallest of its type in India.
The lake created by the dam, Maharana Pratap Sagar, became a renowned bird sanctuary. Located among the picturesque snow-clad mountains of the Himalayas, Maharana Pratap Sagar Sanctuary is a lake sanctuary in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. Spread across 450 sq km, the sanctuary is locally known as Pong Dam and is located about 60 km southwest of Dharamsala.
Named in honour of Maharana Pratap, a Hindu Rajput ruler of Mewar, the sanctuary is located at an elevation of 1,476 ft above mean sea level. The sanctuary is popular mainly for the birds like surkhabs, plovers, terns, red necked grebes, water fowl egrets, ducks and lack-headed gulls among others.
Thousands of migratory ducks from Siberia can be seen in the swamp regions between Pong Dam and Shah Nagar barrage and other shallow regions of the lake. The best time to see the vibrant congregation of the visiting birds is between November and March.
Alpine forests and snow covered mountains form picturesque backdrops for the sanctuary. The mesmerizing panoramic view of the Dhauladhar Ranges and the Kangra Valley makes it a good place to click photographs.
The two km long dam on the Beas River is the highest dam in the country. The dam was built in 1975 and has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kangra district. The sanctuary grew around the Maharana Pratap Sagar and was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1983.
The region is a paradise for fauna and flora. The sanctuary is home to barking deer, wild boars, leopards, cheetals, black buck and 27 varieties of fishes can be spotted in the lake.
The Ransar Island located in the Maharana Pratap Lake should be visited for its rich Himalayan flora and fauna. The main population of the black bucks and cheetals can be seen on the Ransar Island.

Koldam
The Koldam Dam Hydropower Project commonly known as KolDam, is an embankment dam on the Satluj River upstream of the Dehar Power House. It is 18 km from Bilaspur off the Chandigarh-Manali Highway (NH-21) near Barmana, Himachal Pradesh. The main purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it will support an 800 MW power station. The dam was constructed by National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
The foundation stone for the dam was laid on 5 June 2000 by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. On 14 January 2004, main construction on the dam began. Due to problems associated with habitat and forest loss, the project has been delayed. Attempts to impound the reservoir first failed in December 2013 due to problems with sealing the diversion tunnels. By 18 March 2014, a fourth attempt to seal the tunnels and fill the lake was underway. Repairs were made and another unsuccessful impounding was reached in April 2014 as the diversion tunnel continued to leak. Another period of impounding began on 3 November 2014 and finished on 3 January 2015. A tunnel still leaked though but authorities were confident they would have the power station operational by April. Generator commissioning was originally scheduled for 2009 but was rescheduled to 2015.
