It’s a good place to spend quality of time with family. There are 2 types of boats available - water boat costs 225/- (10-15 mins ride) and pedal boat costs 125/-. (30 minutes). Recommending visit at 6pm (in summers) to boat during sunset with better view. Food is unnecessary expensive and average taste. The thermal view of the lake is beautiful. Boating, Vehicle parking and food court also available near by lake. It was too difficult to sit on a sunny day. There should be some indoor or some other stuff to get protection from direct sunlight. In suggestion There should be planted more trees. 🌴🌲 Keep Green and save environment.
