Pl bring at least 5kg to feed there are lot pigeons. These pigeons come near your foot when u feed them and surround you. Nice place to visit on Sunday morning ( only at lake view point).

Great place for an evening. Beautiful path along the lake covered with trees and flowers. Powai Lake (Pronunciation: [p@v@i:]) is an artificial lake, situated in Mumbai, in the Powai valley, where a Powai village with a cluster of huts existed. The city suburb called Powai shares its name with the lake. Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, one of the premier institutions of science and technology in India, is located to the east of the lake.[1] Another famous institution, the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), is also located close to the lake. Housing complexes and plush hotels are developed all around the lake periphery. Population around the lake has thus substantially increased over the years.

Beautiful view in hustle n bustle of the busy city... Best time to visit is early morning.

Calm and cool place to chill in evening.

It is one of the most beautiful lakes in and around Mumbai/Thane. The lake is full of natural habitats and biodiversity. Despite its exclusiveness, there is a lot of litter scattered around. Which needs to be cleared.

Nice place to spent time with friends. Beautiful view of Lake. Many types of birds can be seen. People come here to celebrate their birthdays. Also have place to practice dance. Nice spot for photography. Some people are throwing garbage in it. They must stop it.

Powai Lake dates back to 1799 when the British colonial administration constructed it as a reservoir to supply water to Bombay, the city's former name. Over the years, the lake has become an integral part of Mumbai life. It serves as a vital source of water for the city, quenching the thirst of millions. Beyond its utilitarian function, Powai Lake has become a popular recreational spot. The lush greenery surrounding the lake provides a picturesque setting for picnics, morning walks, and bird watching, attracting nature enthusiasts and tourists alike. Boating facilities allow visitors to immerse themselves in the lake's tranquility while enjoying the scenic views. Powai Lake faces significant threats that endanger its ecological balance. Rapid urbanization and encroachments in the surrounding areas have led to increased pollution and reduced water quality. Industrial and domestic waste, along with untreated sewage, find their way into the lake, posing a threat to aquatic life and the overall ecosystem. Additionally, the diminishing green cover due to urban expansion affects the lake's biodiversity. Environmentalists, NGOs, and local authorities are collaborating to initiate conservation projects, promote waste management, and raise awareness about the lake's significance.

Fantastic place to chill in mornings and evenings. Not crowded in mornings. Morning sunlight will make your day. Located near big businesses and institutions of Powai. Cleanliness is properly maintained by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The only drawback is that benches are not available; however, one can comfortably sit on the stairs and other concrete platforms. I would suggest to pay a short visit if you are around this palce.
