Siliserh Lake — Attraction in Rajasthan

This lake is a large panoramic water bowl surrounded by the Aravalli hills. Made in memory of his wife by King Vinay Singh, it stores the water trickling down as small rivulets from the hills around. An ingeniously constructed dam wall allows the water to get stored in the depression. It is a scenic lake with excellent views from all around. The lake was water filled in the peak summer that shows that it gets deeper during monsoon season. The road to Silised is alright, though under construction at certain places. Drive carefully and slowly, keeping a look at monkeys and langoors around. An entry fee of INR 100/- is levied that includes either a free water bottle/cold drink/coffee in the hill top restaurant of the tourism department. ⛵Boating in the lake is a tad expensive with speed boat and motor boat charges at INR 1800 and 1200 respectively for a fifteen minutes ride. But it is a must as it offers the bird's eye view of the lake from all sides. Overall, an excellent spot to relax and rejuvenate where even longer stays...

Spread around 7 sq km, Siliserh Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Aravalli hills of Rajasthan. Its presence is quite unexpected considering the arid conditions of the region; no wonder it is a man-made lake!

It not only served as the royal palace, but also as a hunting lodge which has now been converted into a hotel (run by Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation–RTDC). Besides, just a few kilometres from the lake lies a village and some waterfalls that can also be visited by tourists. Siliserh Lake is located just 170 km from Delhi and can be the perfect weekend getaway during the monsoon season when the water level is high and the surrounding...

Visited Siliserh Lake in the afternoon and had a wonderful time. The entry fee is ₹100 per person, which includes a complimentary cold drink, tea, or coffee—a nice touch. There’s also a bar available, and the peanut masala was especially tasty! They have other food options too, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the view.

The lake itself is beautiful, surrounded by mountains with stunning views and refreshing cold water. We took a boat ride (max 8 people per boat), which was a highlight of the visit—peaceful and scenic all around.

A great place to unwind, click some amazing pictures, and spend quality time with friends or family. Highly recommended if you’re...
