IT WAS FIRST MOOTED IN 1961, and right up to its<br />
inauguration in 2006, the Tehri Dam in Tehri Garhwal<br />
district of Uttarakhand faced opposition over the <strong>issue</strong> of<br />
locating such a large — and India’s highest — dam in the<br />

body is the venue for a host of adventure sports including<br />
jet ski, high speed boat, banana ride, para-sailing and<br />
kayaking. With trekking, camping, zip line, jungle safari<br />
and rock climbing also being organised nearby, what else<br />
