The total volume of the dam is 35,500,000 m3 (46,432,247 cu yd) and its crest sits at an elevation of 435.86 m (1,430 ft) above sea level. The dam's spillwayis located on its southern bank and is a chute-type controlled by six radial gates. Its maximum discharge capacity is 12,375 m3/s (437,019 cu ft/s). The reservoir created by the dam, Maharana Pratap Sagar, has a gross capacity of 8,570,000,000 m3 (6,947,812 acre⋅ft) of which 7,290,000,000 m3 (5,910,099 acre⋅ft) is active (live) capacity. The reservoir has a normal elevation of 426.72 m (1,400 ft) and catchment area of 12,560 km2 (4,849 sq mi). The reservoir reaches from the dam to 41.8 km (26 mi) upstream in length and covers a surface of 260 km2 (100 sq mi).[1] Located at the base of the dam is its power house. It is supplied with water via three penstocks which each meet a 66 MW Francis turbine-generator located inside the Bhatoli phakorian. The dam's elevation to the power house provides a maximum of 95.1 m (312 ft) in hydraulic head.

Maharana Pratap Sagar is a manmade lake, created in 1975. It is 42 kms long and 2 kms wide. It is near to Kangra and Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh.
There is a wild life sanctuary, which is a paradise for bird lovers and photographers. Every year around 1,00,000 migratory birds visit this sanctuary.
You should spend at least 2 days if you are here for bird watching or photography. There are very few accommodation facilities available in Nagrota Suria. So far, I know two places - Forest Rest House and other Govt Rest House. But for that you need to book in advance and cannot just walk in there.
There is an entry point to enter in this sanctuary and you need to pay entry fee. It is open from 9 am to 5 pm every day.
