Over time, Garga Dam has not only served its primary purpose but has also become a popular spot for picnic and leisure activities among locals and tourists alike. The serene environment and scenic beauty surrounding the dam make it an ideal place for nature lovers. The lush greenery, the tranquil water, and the melody of birds enhance the peaceful ambiance. Adjacent to the dam, there are facilities for visitors to sit and enjoy the views. It provides a picturesque backdrop for photography, and the sprawling body of water is calming to behold. The dam area has become an eco-tourism spot with increased interest in bird watching, as it attracts various species, especially during the migration season.
