There is a town, which is placed on the banks of the Krishna River, known as Nandikonda. During the period of the construction of the Nagarjunsagar dam, the whole population of this town was moved to the Hill colony, as this place got submerged in the river. 

The whole area of the Nagarjunsagar Dam’s reservoir is enclosed by the forests and this adds more charm to this place and gives a magnetic and a delightful view to the tourists.

The tourists will definitely find it exciting to take the steamboat service to reach the Hill colony.
