Manchinabele Dam,
Is mainly known for the large reservoir & the greenery surrounded which attracts large variety of birds. This place is known for trekking & some adventurous games. There are 3 military camps in Manchinabele who does sapping & some military trainings.
Recently bunch of us went for night camping at Manchinabele with military officers permission, usually they won’t allow public for these camps, you shud take the permission from military guys over there.
It was an awesome experience for us, pitched the tents next to the lake, barbeque food, camp fire everything was full on.
