The Tunga Dam built across the Tunga river is a marvellous sight for the visitors. Tunga Dam is about 535 m in length. Sakrebayalu Elephant Training Camp, another popular travel spot for people, especially kids, is near this dam, which is only about 3 km. Tunga dam is in a place called Gujanur which is on the way from Teerthahalli to Shimoga.

The dam is 10 km away from Shimoga city and is just a 20-minute drive from Shimoga towards Teerthahalli. Local bus transportation services are also available to Tunga Dam.
