An ancient dam built by the local ruling kings in the late 1600's to block the river flowing in between the 2 mountain tops in order to create a lake for the public to have a water supply. The dam has 9 levels and typically only a few levels can be seen because the water level submerges the bottem levels, in recent droughts however have uncovered the entire nine-leveled dam. Great tourist destination.
