Nayandahalli Lake



This Lake is actually just in between the Mysore road and Nayandahalli railway station. There are mid/low income apartments on Mysore road – the lake is just behind that. But seeing the lake from railway station is a better option. There is again no water in this lake and the other side of the lake is very dirty.

Size: 15 acre 10 gunte ( Ref: 'Kere Karaguva Samaya'- R.Manjunath)

Kengeri Lake


When I used to go to Mysore, I have seen this lake with lots of water. It is actually a big lake and there used to be boating in this lake. Somehow, this is the first time I am seeing it so dry. While I was taking photo of this lake, an elderly uncle came and told me that every day by around 6:00 - 6:30 pm, hundreds of birds come there, drink water and fly away. I also saw many birds this time, even with so little water. Also, I think this lake is under renovation plan by Govt.  Just the other side of lake there is a water purification plant. So similar to the Doraikere (near ISRO layout), this lake can also be filled with water after purification
