Good to know
- Hyderabad's Outer Ring Road is closed to two-wheelers, so leave the city on the regular highways, not the ORR.
- The last stretch to the lake from the Medak to Bodhan road is gravel.
- The reservoir is most dramatic right after heavy rain; check the water level before going.
- This is Pocharam in Medak district, not the Pocharam near Ibrahimpatnam.
