At the base of Wilson Dam, there is a garden endowed with thick greenery, streams, and gigantic trees- the latter, home to hundreds of harmless fruit bats that hand precariously from the branches all through the day. During the monsoon, when the level of the lake rises, the dam opens its gates to release a torrent of water that finds its way down to the plains below. You could stand at the edge of the garden embankment and enjoy the cool spray, or visit the picturesqueUmbrella Falls, which are another major attraction during the monsoon.
