Lakes

Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all are form of water bodies. Just as religions do - they all contain truths. What makes lakes in Bangalore so special is the beautiful surrounding within which they are located. There are about 141 big and small lakes in the city. These centuries old lakes have played a major role in sustaining life during pre-historic era. These were the major source of drinking water for the city. As the city grew up, lake water became insufficient to fulfill the thirst of the city. These days, lakes in Bangalore are place to praise and observe the beauty of the nature. Boating facility is available so you can have a ride on water along the bewitching banks of these lakes.
