Karanji Lake

Tucked beneath the forested slopes of Chamundi Hill, Karanji Lake is a serene natural retreat within the city. Spread across roughly 90 acres, the lake is a designated nature park and one of the best birdwatching spots in Karnataka, home to painted storks, pelicans, herons, and migratory species. A walk-through aviary, butterfly enclosure, and a floating pathway across the water make it a rewarding outing for families and nature lovers alike.
