Darawat DAM Jamshoro

[babarhyd]

Before moving ahead let me introduce Darawat DAM.
Darawat DAM is located in District Jamshoro.
Darawat Dam Project is under Construction across Nai Baran about 70 kms West of Hyderabad and 135 kms North East of Karachi; near village Jhangri in District Jamshoro Sindh. (source: Darawat dam PROJECT)


There is no road uptil DAM for now but the nearby village of Jhingri.


Latitude: 25.40909
Longitude: 67.943094

Google Maps Picture

Point B is actually Jhingri Village, road leading to DAM is around 4 km's before Jhingri Village. Which is shown below:

The road leading to Jhingri is metalled but with lots of pot holes (max speed 40km/h)
The remaining part till Darawat DAM is unmetalled road but even cars can go during dry season.

Here is the picture of the expected road conditions:

The point where one has to turn for Darawat DAM (starting spot of black line in the above zoomed in MAP)

Construction work still going on...

Behold the mighty DAM

While returning back to DAM.

We sat in front of that cottage (control room) for lunch as there was no one in the vicinity

And pictures beside that cottage (control room)

On our way back...

The End!

Yup this is the first time being posted anywhere on the Internet as per my resources. I tried a lot to get information before the trip but apart from Google Maps showing vague lines no information could be gathered.

Someone said that its for Bahria town, water supply...

[babarhyd]

I doubt that. Such dams were built long before Bahria town came. But I can be wrong.
