Rani Tal - Lake in Nahan - Sirmaur, India

Rani Tal is a man made lake at the centre of this hilly town. As the story goes the king made it in the memory of his beloved queen when she left for the heavenly abode. The municipal corporation of Nahan has done a good job in maintaining it. There is a kids playing area in the campus and also a small Shiva temple. There are sufficient trees providing shade to the benches that are kept in the park. Nice place for morning walk or a casual stroll. Boating is not very exciting but none the less is available

Beautiful park in the Center of city where you can visit with your family, children and lovers. You can walk around the pond and it felt you fresh and happy. Here you can see very old 90 feet deep well, a beautiful shiv temple and a cave. Here is a children park also where children will play different games. Here is a beautiful flowers garden also where you can watch a lot of beautiful flowers which felt you happy and peaceful...

Best place to hangout with kids and young people.. It is a Beautiful park with lots of swings and greenery.. And also there is a Shiv Temple.. A must place to go.. Very relaxing and refreshing.. Crowded with local people at morning and evening.. There is also a 'lake' usually called "Rani ka Tal or talab" In ancient time Nahan's queen come there to bath

As a tourist, I would say, this place could be good for residents of the town but not memorable for me however Rudraksh temple inside was too good.

Perfect place in the middle of city. Car parking is a problem, but some private parkings can be an alternative. Narrow roads. Always be some extra conscious

Beautiful park with an auspicious temple in middle along with a duck pond. Must visit on shivratri
