Kukkarahalli Lake

Sitting at the heart of the city, Kukkarahalli Lake is a beloved green lung for Mysuru residents and a haven for birdwatchers. Managed by the University of Mysore, whose campus borders its shores, the lake attracts over 150 species of birds across seasons, including painted storks and cormorants. A shaded walking trail circles the water, making it a favourite morning retreat for joggers, students, and anyone looking for calm within the city.
