80 kilometres north of Bengaluru, lies this beautiful lake, surrounded by the rocky hills and trees.
It's an amazing picnic spot! The kind of picnic spot where you should go have your picnic with your loved ones and BRING BACK YOUR GARBAGE WITH YOU!!! How difficult is that?🤷♀️. My rant starts here... It's such a beautiful location but humans are fast turning it into a garbage dump. I cannot understand why people do this. They go, enjoy a place, play loud music, drive migratory birds away and leave it dirty for the next person who will visit the place. Is that person expecting someone from BBMP or any corporation to go to this remote location and clean up his mess because he has paid tax and is entitled to be serviced up? Today, again we locked horns with a group of boys in an Ertiga, here at the spot, playing crazy loud music and munching down food and washing oily hands and plates in the lake. Why bother to drive 80 kms from the city to visit this place, if not for enjoying the view and the fauna? My rant stops here.😎
In the peak of the summer too, this lake is filled with water, the trees are green and fishes are in plenty. Most people stop at the spot where the lake is visible...but ride a bit ahead and take a left turn into a muddy road, come to this picnic spot and enjoy the view...best is to reach the spot by 6 AM. The sun pops up from behind the hill across the lake. Perfect view. 😍
