Varthur Kere is currently being de-silted. This is one of the largest Kere and is downstream of Bellandur lake. Has the potential of being one of the beautiful lake and a huge lung space once the rejuvenation efforts are fruitful.
A great place for birding,running and walking . Two ways are there to this place
Sunrise and sunset view from the lake is awesome and beautiful to take pictures that's why I have given 5star to it. Water is stagnant here and you can see building images trees images very clean and neat during sunset, that's the beauty of this lake. But Lake is dirty because contaminated drainage water is flowing into it and you can see lots of froth where water is falling down. It's second largest lake of Varthur, Government should have to take any action to clean it.
Varthur lake area is bigger but currently it is poisonous. Government planned to clean this but don't know when it happens. Contractor will also loot from that money. Hope for best.
Horrible place. Try to avoid this road as much as possible. The traffic is unpredictable. Horrible road with single lane. Crazy two wheelers and autos going always in wrong side. The bridge is too narrow and damaged. Varthur signal is horrible to cross. Too crowded and hell lot of cars... For people working in itpl or Whitefield , this is an unavoidable road. But especially on Monday morning and Friday evening, better to park the car in side and sleep until traffic clears. Horrible
Most polluted lake of B'lore. Karnataka Govt/BBMP/District Minister should at least ask Guinness world record agency to consider Varthur lake for World's Top 10 worst lakes! Shame on administration for ignoring this Lake to die!
Varthur lake is improving ... full of birds both local and migratory
Good place to stay in VARTHUR area but make sure you take a house little far from this lake as water of this lake is very dirty and it smells very bad.Sometimes you can see the fog like detergent liquid near Varthur Kodi bus stop.Sometimes it flies in the air and fall whoever goes through this road.Govt has improved a lot to stop this fog.
