Thippagondanahalli (aka Tippagondanahalli, T.G.halli, Chamarajsagar, Chamarajasagar, Chamarajsagara)

T G Halli is a water reservoir/dam which serves as one of the main sources of water supply to the Bangalore city. Very scenic, its located only 35 kms from Bangalore on the way to Magadi. You'd usually need permission from the BWSSB to go inside. The reservoir is formed when Arkavathy and Kumudavathi river come together. (See the source of Arkavathy river in my Nandi Hills trip.) We went with Gaurav, Mini, and Parth. It was a very serene and peaceful picnic spot. We just parked the car and loitered around. Must go for a short picnic! Haven't understood why its called Chamarajsagar/Chamrajsagar.
