Nagarjunasagar is a vast lake formed by the backed up waters of the
Krishna River held back by a dam, which is almost 9,000,000 kw of power
and canals irrigating thousands of square km. Take a motor launch to
the island of Nagarjunakonda to see Buddhist ruins which were located
on the hill which is now the entire island and other constructions which
were rescued from the waters of the dam and re-sited on the island.
The Museum holds Buddhist relics including coins of the Roman Emperors
Tiberius and Hadrian. Also explore a re-sited Buddhist monastery ashore
and Ethiupothala Falls (25 km) a 20 m high cascade of water. Here, be prepared for a truly magnificent sight that you are not likely
to forget for a long time to see.
