Almatti dam built over river Krishna in Bagalkot is no longer a tourist's destination as it is out of bounds. However, as a respite one can spend good time at a well maintained park near the entrance to the dam.

My travel log
It took me four hours to reach Almatti dam from Hospet. It was my first long drive in my car (with almost no prior driving experience). It was 5.45 pm when we reached the dam premise. It was a big disappointment when we learned that it was out of bounds for tourists. I clicked a photo using maximum available zoom and then raced down towards the park. The park closes at 6 pm and we rushed in. After few minutes of strolling we got into boating. As the sun set, we made a quick exit as we had to head to Kudala sangama.
Distance chart:
Hospet to Almatti: 141 Kms
Almatti to Kudalasangama: 30 Kms
