Since its completion, it has become a popular tourist attraction in the region, offering breathtaking views of the water reservoir flanked by lush green hills. The scenic beauty of the surroundings makes it an ideal spot for photographers and nature lovers.

The team coordination is amazing, there is a sync with the process no hassle.
