Hoskerehalli Lake

 The lake area is very big but with absolute no water. This is an ideal place for the builders in Blore to occupy. Go grab it, destroy it

Puttenhalli Lake

As of now there is no water in it. But its recently cleaned lake and is having its own people community to take care of it. Basically it’s a public private partnership so this lake will survive. There are two billboards explaining about some birds which are seen in that lake. Now that’s a nice initiative. To my surprise I did see some 3-4 types of birds which I don’t see often or might not have seen before. Some types of egrets/herons. Lots of information about this lake can be found at:

Avalahalli lake

This is a clean lake and is also having good amount of water body. Right now they are fencing this lake so hopefully there will be no garbage put in it. There is no way to make a footpath surrounding this lake so that people can go for morning or evening walk by lake side. I think that will be the next step.

Lalbagh Lake

No need to write much about it as you can find the information in net. Its one of the best maintained lakes in Blore. Many varieties of birds come there and it’s a famous tourist spot. No complaints and a must visit as well.

Yediyur Lake

 This is a well maintained lake and cleaned every year at least for ‘ganapathi’ festival. There is a separate tank created to submerge the idols. There is a small garden adjacent to the lake and people daily go for a walk in the morning and evening – surrounding the lake. Overall can be considered as a ‘city’ lake.

Chunchgatta Lake

This is how in general all Blore lakes are. Of course I am not talking about lalbagh, sanky tank and a few exceptions. Go to that place and see how unclean a lake can be kept by the govt.  The people leaving by the sides of lake are dumping the waste plastic bottles, cloths, tyres there only.  On the other side of the lake the big builders are building the lakeview apartments and earning huge money, but aren’t even bothered to keep the lake clean. May be that side is made clean but not this side. Also its having lot of water and can be turned into one wonderful place.

Doddakalsandra Lake

This was like a total surprise to me. After looking into google maps I went to see this lake. I did not find ny entrance to this lake. The entrance is in between the kumarans school building and the parking lot and will definitely go unnoticed as it looks like to garbage dumping yard. Fortunately as its not accessible easily to the people, when I went inside to my surprise it’s the best lake so far that I have seen and written in my blogs. Absolutely clean water, no plastic and really nice and with some nice birds, ducks – its amazing to see such a place. The only thing is the school should keep the entrance clean and also can keep the footpath surrounding the lake clean. I am confused whether it should be made easily accessible to ‘US’ the destroyers of lakes or its better that the entrance is unclean so that the lake can be clean.
