I went to Massanjore on 22 December 2018 from Rampurhat. I reached Rampurhat from Kolkata on 21 December by train.
Massanjore Dam is a hydropower generating dam over the Mayurakhsi river located at Massanjore near Dumka in the state of Jharkhand India.
I hired a cab with my family & started my journey on 8 am. It took around 2k. We reached Massanjore around 9.30 am. The route was so beautiful. Some parts were hilly & scenic. We took our breakfast from roadside eatery near the entrance of dam. The whole dam was fully visible from the eatery table.
The best time to visit Massanjore is the winter season & before 12pm/afternoon. This place was so hot. The wind is so calm & soothing. If you go on monsoon season, the lockgates are open so you can enjoy the view of full water force. There is a walkway upon the dam. You can walk & cross it & enjoy the full view of dam & Mayurakhsi river. At the bottom side of the dam there is an amusement park & picnic spot.
After spending of 2-3 hours we returned to Rampurhat with a peaceful memory.
