Very beautiful place. Here you can see so many birds which come here from other countries. You can listen different voices of birds. All area covered with birds in the winter season. But the bank of the reservoir is not clean people throw plastic, you can see wooden pieces here. You can enjoy boating here with your family. You can easily access this area with your car and bike.
