The Must Visit Lake And Restaurant For The Perfect Stay

Balsamand Lake is a lake situated 5 km from Jodhpur on Jodhpur-Mandore Road. This lake is a popular picnic spot, built in 1159 AD by Gurjara-Pratihara rulers. It was designed as a water reservoir to provide water to Mandore. The lake has a length of one km, breadth of 50 m and a depth of 15 m.
The Balsamand Lake Palace was built later as a summer palace on its shore. The lake is surrounded by lush green gardens that house groves of trees like mango, papaya, pomegranate, guava and plum. Animals and birds like the jackal and peacock also call this place home.


This is an artificial lake located close to Jodhpur city. It's advisable to visit it in the evening time to enjoy it better. The setting sun, the cool breezes, the chirping of the birds returning to their nests and the scenic beauty are the main attraction here. The garden on the bank of the lake is beautiful, lush green with flowering plants and trees.


The amazing place have a beautiful scenery, where there is a restaurant serving the exotic flavors from the land of sand.The hotel has two categories of rooms. Even if you do not stay here the place is worth a visit. Its an awesome sight.
