Kalkere Lake - Lake in Bengaluru - Bengaluru Urban, India

One of the biggest lake in Bengaluru with the perimeter over 6.2 kilo meters. Decently maintained by ANZ CSR. Really good for walk/jog with the family. Plants and birds are noticeable.

The lake is quite pretty and well maintained and the walking path is good. There are many birds and even some water snakes. The trail however does not go all the way round - there is a very small bit at one end which is not joined up with the other side. There is also a strong smell from the storm water drain which one has to put up with for some parts of the trail

Walking path and a small park is coming up....lots more to be done to complete it. But a good place for walking amidst nature. Fishing and boating facilities can be provided.

Beautiful place for walk/run

Wanted to explore new lakes around the Hennur area and remembered going to this lake a few years back. It looks very different now. While the place is beautiful and spread out (Check the pictures for size and walking path distance details) there seems to be a sewage line that is flowing to the left of the initial section of the lake leading to a terrible stench however once you move away from there things better. I still think it's a great walking track but given it 3 stars as there is a lot more that can be done. The greenery is just amazing and one can see a lot of birds. Getting to the lake is a bit tricky but follow the map and you will get there without an issue.

An excellent place for a half day trip.Really worth it especially in the morning. If anyone would like to buy fresh fish from lake so possible in the morning around 9am.Be there on time orelse you won't get it.A nice place for morning walk.Varieties of flowers and plants in the garden.

Coming back to this lake after a year and the improvements are truly impressive. The far end of the lake on the right along with the canal that runs on the other side no longer stinks barring a few specific spots. The storm water drain that they were working on has been finished and all the water was seen happily flowing in it. No more overflowing on this side or stink. Coming to the main entry side, all the landscaping and bench installation work has been complete and the trail is now flat and clean. However, as you proceed ahead you do get some sewage smell coming out of the STP for a while until you cross it. The only thing that actually stands out as a sore thumb for this lake is something that isn't even at the lake. Yes, I'm talking about the approach road and parking. Anyone who's been to this lake knows how narrow and dilapidated it is. I mean there isn't even any road to begin with, so to call it a road would be highly inaccurate. Secondly, it goes through a thickly populated residential area, so if someone's taking out their car from their house, you are forced to wait behind them till everyone gets inside because some portions are so narrow that two vehicles cannot pass at the same time. Now the parking. Houses are constructed upto the very buffer zone of the lake right where the main gate is located. So there's very little space from the last house on the road to the main gate where you can park your two-wheeler so people end up parking right in front of that persons house. If you have a car, then completely forget it. You'd probably have to park it somewhere on the main road and then walk down to the main entry gate.
