The Bhakra-Nangal Dam, located on the border between Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, is Asia's second tallest dam. With a height of around 207.26 metres and a length of 168.35 kilometres, it is India's highest straight gravity dam. Tehri Dam, the tallest dam in India, is located in Uttarakhand on the uphills, surrounded by a pine-forested community. Tehri Dam stands 260.5 metres tall, making it one of the world's highest dams.
