It is a small dam near Bengaluru. I liked the first view of the Dam while driving from Big Banyan Tree.

There is a road that goes along the backwaters of the dam. Contrary to my belief, the backwater is surrounded by villages.

How to reach Manchanabele dam:
Take right on Mysore road near RajaRajeshwari Medical College towards Big Banyan tree. 7 kms from this deviation is the Big Banyan tree. Continue further for another 10 kms where the backwaters of the dam can be seen. A small road to the right will take to the backwaters of the Dam.
