It’s home to ~1,000 mugger crocodiles and attracts a wide array of birds—waterfowl, waders, raptors, and migrants .

Access

Singur Dam Reservoir is located near Singooru village in Telangana, about 100 km northwest of Hyderabad. It is best reached by private car, though TSRTC buses are available to near by towns. The site is spread across both Medak and Sangareddy districts, with approach roads leading to the dam wall, lake edge, and nearby forest patches. The area is best explored on foot along the rocky banks and shoreline, or by boat when available. Early mornings offer the best birding, and a half to full day visit is ideal. Basic amenities are limited, so visitors should carry food and water. Best area to explore is near the Haritha Lake View Resort Singur.
