It’s best to avoid visiting during the day when it gets crowded instead, go early morning or evening and find a quiet spot to sit and soak in the calm. Perfect for unwinding and capturing stunning photos!

I arrived here a little before sunrise, and it felt so calm and serene. You can drive in and park right at the gate, which is very convenient. When I arrived, a saint was in dhyaan, and a man was running with street dogs, treating them like his own. As the sun rose and people started walking around, I felt a sense of sonder.🕊️ We went to the top, as suggested by a local uncle, and enjoyed the sunrise. Some places just touch your heart, and this was definitely one of them. Being here with my family, I felt truly at peace.

It's like a pond than a lake. But you can relax at evening time and boating also there.
