The lake and its nearby parts are well maintained and the water of the lake is also clean. The lake is enclosed by thick jungles of oak, pine and birch.

The lake set in the middle of the reservation feels like a nature’s mural so unexpected and beautiful. The sanctuary around the lake is also a beautiful sight to watch with colorful flowers like rhododendrons and orchids it increases the beauty of the lake by several degrees.

There is a golf course and clubhouse just a slight onward of the lake which is largely frequented by the tourist and the local population.

The lake, along with its charming environments, affords perfect place for picture, but the real beauty of the place has to be seen in reality, a picture however clear cannot replicate the actual feel!
