Karanji Lake, Karnataka, India

4.0 (531 reviews) Spent Ranking #8 in Mysore District Bodies of Water

Spend a lazy afternoon in midst of nature

Karanji Lake located near the heart of the city has been extensively renovated and is rather well maintained with greenery and walkaways. The entrance to the park has ample (paid) parking space for visitors. The park has a nominal entrance fee used for maintaining the facilities. A couple of attractions worth a mention * Lookout tower - There is a streel lookout-tower adjacent to the lake. By climbing up, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Mysuru and the lake area. * Boating on the lake - Paddle boats are available to rent at a reasonable price. You can rent one and go boating around the lake.

    Beautiful Lake with Boating and Aviary
    This was a hidden spot in Mysore for me. This place is a lake + aviary. Located within the city. There is an entrance fee of ₹50 for adults and parking fee of ₹50 for four wheelers for four hours. Parking space is quite vast. Mask is a must and you will have to buy one for ₹5 in case you don't have one though the people selling weren't wearing it themselves. There is a lake inside where boating is available. Peddle boat costs ₹30 per person for 10-15 mins ride and a boat ride costs ₹60 per person for ~10 mins ride. Getting your turn to the ride might be tricky as it's not well organised here. You can see some migratory birds in the small islands and tall trees in the lake. There is also an aviary in the premises which has different bird types. There is no entrance fee. There is also a small park for children and seats for visitors to relax. Overall this place is a must visit when you're in Mysore.

    Huge and well maintained Park !!
    This park is very close to the zoo and we can visit zoo from inside the park as well. Ample Parking space is available for both 2 wheelers and cars. The charges are 50 for adults and 25 for kids. They have a combo package for the zoo and park too. Cycles are available for rent. There is a kids play area, butterfly park, boating inside the park. Lots of different birds can be seen too. Overall a very good place.
