We took a weekend Trip to Massanjore recently. Massanjore is a quite and calm place with natural beauty in Dumka district of Jharkhand state. It is 40 km from Suri of W. Bengal. The Massanjore dam (also called Canada Dam ), on the Mayurakshi river , was commissioned in 1955 with financial assistance from Canadian Government. The Mayurakshi River at the dam site has a catchment area of 1869 sq.km. The dam is 155 feet high from its base and is 2170 feet long. The reservoir has an area of 16,650 acres when full and has a storage capacity of 500,000 acre feet. Apart from the Massanjore Dam there is a barrage on the same river at Tilpara, near Suri.
The place is just amazing for adventurous persons. Hill climbing , boating or swimming is pretty much enjoyable. The river and hills gives its identity. At night, the total ambiance changes.
We reached Massanjore after two hours drive from Santiniketan. After a brief rest at the resort we strolled on the dam and looked the views and enjoyed the views. The boating was also enjoyable.
