    Nice n quiet place, nestled in the laps of the Aravalli hills. There is a small lake in the hollows between the hills, with boating facilities. Next to the lake is Haryana Tourism's resort, with well furnished lovely rooms_ a decent restaurant n Bar. This place is good for a weekend visit, to relax & unwind

  • 5/5 Neeraj Kumar C. 1 year ago on Google • 81 reviews
    It is a very large lake in between the Aravali hills. I went in winter so the water was less but in the rainy season, it looks better. You can do boating 🚤, padal boats, gun shooting🔫, camel riding 🐫, zipping and small games there. Overall it is good.

    Good for a weekend picnic with kids. Lake is more of a pond. Too many locals. Don't expect anything when you visit here.

    Good option for 1-2 hour family weekend. But not so much activities.. 2-3 camels are here if you wants a Camel ride and 2-3 games incl. Break the Pyramid & Gun Shooting are here. Haryana Tourism restaurent is also available but the food quality are not so good and the service is really poor.

    over hyped place. Nothing special. Its not lake, its johad 😂(used for bathing buffalos) May be in near future it could be a tourist spot but currently its a complete wastage of time.

  • 2/5 sandeep s. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is really hyped, EVEN in winter season no such water in lake and buffalo's taking a bath in lake , There are some activities near the lake but in a very small area। EVEN camel rides are restricted to few meters, There is a big reastrautes may be operated by government seems good, This place has a parking, schools sends their kid for a picnic here as it's a old popular place, Good thing is, if you are interested in Good resorts and natural beauty there are plenty options here but you need to book in advance।

    Go out for a short fun off road ride n reach to the place. Be absolute humble with your expectations as there ain't anything to Wow you.. Enjoy the experience of reaching there, chit chat with friends n leave.

    A silent place with sound of birds, tree leaves and sense of calmness. Parking facility available inside where you need to pay 20 rupees as parking charge.People found parking their vehicle outside reserved area but its better and safe to park inside reserve area with nominal parking charges. Restaurant also available inside premises. Various outdoor activities for kids also available for enjoyment. Boating can be enjoyed in the Damdama lake with 50 rupees per head charges. Request all people visiting there to please keep the place clean. Use dustbins appropriately for throwing waste material and also don't throw any thing outside area and into the lake.

    The place is nice with a restaurant, SARAS, run by Haryana Tourism . The lake is small boating, and camel rides adds to the attraction . Good place for family picnics.

    This is a spot which is good for weekend visiting. It is not a very clean spot and there is no arrangements from Government . Local villagers have put up boating arrangements which are not guaranteed to be safe. Overall this place can be improvised and made a wonderful tourist destination.

    The govt should take rigorous steps to maintain it. The property is fine but requires a lot of work. The food inside is good and quiet place to sit. If you roam around, try "the village food". It's a small restaurant run by a husband and wife. Hygeinic and tasty food. We took a stroll all around the lake as we had time n had gone only for that. I wish it was in the season and less cattle grazing around.

    This time we visited the Damdama property in month of June end and after 10 years there is no evolution. Boating starts around 10:00 AM.(at your own risk-no life jackets😃) Food quality is okay in the restaurant. Prices are pretty good. Adventure sports were not active at that point. Please call before visit for the activities. I found there is a lot of scope for water sports and activities, management should work towards enhancement of this place.

  • 3/5 AJAY V. 4 months ago on Google • 112 reviews
    Not much water Its a very old place but no support from Govt to preserve the place

  • 5/5 Kavita A. 9 months ago on Google • 102 reviews
    It was a nice lake with minimal entry fee. Boating and other adventurous activity were there. There was a restaurant also but we tried roadside sugarcane juice. Camel ride was also there. Good place for family and friends.

  • 3/5 Gaurav B. 9 months ago on Google • 64 reviews
    The resort appears cool, didn't stay! Went for just boating but it is not overpriced BUT rather not worth the money... 200/- for 2-3 people for 1 paddle boat and that too for 20mins!

  • 1/5 Soumya Ranjan P. 5 months ago on Google • 50 reviews
    Honestly, this place has the potential. But it needs a lot of development and attention from the haryana government. Currently, it's not worth visit. But there is a restaurant inside the building which is really great. You can try paranthas, Lassi, Tandoori paneer tikka etc. Very good food at affordable price.

  • 2/5 Sonia S. 3 months ago on Google • 49 reviews New
    A small pond or a lake.. Boating is provided but a dirty place. The lake is not maintained properly.. Everywhere there is kachra.. Not up to my taste...Dirty water.. Though next to it there is a good Restaurant..by the Haryana government.. The food there is good and the staff is also good... Can try the Restaurant

  • 4/5 anup p. 2 months ago on Google • 45 reviews New
    Ride to Damdama by Bike in middle of lake. You have to take off the road track to reach there. Plan a maggi and coffee making there on portable Butane stove.

  • 2/5 Robin S. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is not that good .If you have never seen a lake or a mountain then this place might help you.The only thing that I loved about this DAMDAMA lake is the restaurant .

  • 4/5 Sunandan B. 3 years ago on Google
    Its kind of a longish, and likely quite shallow, lake. It seems like an ideal candidate for land sharks to fill it up and convert it into a housing society or mall.Time will tell. Area is serene. We couldn't make to the actual lake resort, nor could do boating as it was getting dark by the time we reached. And it didn't bother me; I have seen (maintained) lakes

  • 5/5 Ravi K. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome place to visit with family....have cammal riding, zipline and boating ....

  • 4/5 gunjan k. 3 years ago on Google
    You can go there on weekends if you wish to spend some time in nature. Boating costs 150 of you take paddle boat and 200 for rowing boat for half hour. The place is calm and serene. Can go for a quick escape from hustle bustle of city .

  • 3/5 Prashant V. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place for a decent day outing or picnic,,,, overall nice experience for those who like some time away from city traffic amd want to experience urban-village type environment.... but don't expect too much...

  • 4/5 Hardeep S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Pranjal 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Piyush M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nothing Extraordinary ! Can be a good "day-out" plan from Delhi for escaping into nature and a less crowded picnic venue during CoVID times. Boating can be tried. Hygienic food, restrooms and lodging facilities are available in the surrounding resorts. Few kms of road to the lake pass through village lanes, so it's recommended to avoid travelling after dusk. Recommended Stay Time: 2 hours (with boating) on a relaxed mode. No Entry Tickets Boating Rates : INR 150 /200

    The Lake has boating facilities with both row and paddle boat option. Apart from boating, there is camel riding too. There is a kids section too where, there is small pond for kids boat, zorbing ball, trampoline etc. The place also have a dinning area indoors. In all it's a nice experience to visit here, specially on weekends.

  • 4/5 Saloni J. 3 years ago on Google
    A lot of has changed over the years about this place however the only thing which hasn't changed is that the place is always full of families having a great picnic time or enjoying outdoor activities. A great weekend gateway

  • 1/5 Asit Kumar M. 3 years ago on Google
    Bunch of buffaloes bathing inside lake. Nothing so special in the area. Will find locals drinking alchol openly without even bothering tourists around. Veryvery unhealthy and bD place, avoid taking children here. Positive side is good resorts are around..... Can stay inside and can spend some good time watching nature.

  • 4/5 Zahra S. 3 years ago on Google
    The place is good for weekend outings with friends and family. There are many fun and adventure activities, and a beautiful view of lake. A good picnic spot.

  • 5/5 Saakshi C. 2 years ago on Google
    You get to see a lot of natural beauty, it's amazing there, not much to enjoy or explore but yeah it's very peaceful. There should have been more places to sit and chill but it seems there is lack of development. It's very deep inside gurgaon and full of greenery. Nature lovers would definitely love it but people who are going for enjoyment let me tell you there is not much to to. 2-3 hours max you will take to explore.

  • 1/5 Fab M. 2 years ago on Google
    Can be missed, unless one is only interested in boating. Disappointed with lack of proper signage leading to this place. The activities aren't inviting. Would prefer other lakes to this.

  • 3/5 Sandeep A. 2 years ago on Google
    Quiet and calm. Plenty of water in the monsoons. Saras Haryana tourism place is quite good. Wish the banks of the lake were cleaner and developed for picnics or just lazing. Could b a much better place.

  • 4/5 satender R. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Shantanu S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's better to visit may be during or post monsoon since the surroundings doesn't seem like a catchment area and hence somehow dissatisfaction will struck seeing all dried up fields and lower water levels. The restaurant on the other side is decent enough and will serve the purpose for sure👍

  • 2/5 Deepak A. 1 year ago on Google
    ..visit there but not with very high hopes! Felt like a dry place in summer to me, may be better in winters or monsoon when the lake (johrr - in haryanavi) wud have much water! . Haryana Tourisms guest house near the lake is nice, where spending a night wud be a grt memory to make and cherish in life!!

  • 4/5 Pawan K. 3 years ago on Google
    This is an amazing place surrounded with Aravali Hill's and nature's. There is a Canal where you do activities like Camel Riding, Shooting, Boating. Also you can stay there in Haryana tourism providing Rooms. You enjoy there with your friends and family. I would Recommended you should go at time 11:00 and stay there till 4:00pm.

  • 5/5 rohan b. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 Siddhi P. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is ok if weather is good. Not so developed. Lake is also fine if in a good weather you want to go out and sit along water.

  • 5/5 Preety K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place to visit, amazing place for photoshoot❣️❣️ tea was really tasty❤️ but thodi sfai ki kmi lgi, Lake ke pas😊

  • 3/5 Vinod K. 1 year ago on Google
    We cycled to Damdama Lake as a distance goal on IndependenceDay. Pleasantly surprised that the lake had adequate water and there were even some tourists as well with children. For them there were the usual camel rides and ferris wheel. The Gov't lodge is run down but we managed a cup of tea and omlette.

  • 3/5 Paras S. 1 year ago on Google
    As per the reviews available, this place is not good or attractive as mentioned. Lake is fine, clean & big however there is nothing much to do around this place. Adventure activities are there but we didn't check because we were disappointed by seeing the location and camel ride is available but the person was drunk.

  • 5/5 Prashant k. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing very beautiful place to visit at early morning you can enjoy the sunrise and can gave village food available only on Saturday and Sunday

  • 3/5 Nitin j. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambience around lake felt peaceful and Saras govt restaurant was decent! They even serve alcohol too! One can do rides on camel, boating etc. And there is a section within the premise of lake for kids activities! Good for a group of people especially males, for women the attitude of locals might be an issue, especially at evenings! Otherwise it's a fine place to enjoy a weekend! Not sure I'll come again,maybe during the rainy season! Buffaloes in the lake, fishes and aquatic birds like cormorant and sarus were there too! Boils down to individual choice!

  • 4/5 Sayantan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience, but would suggest to go with a group it will be more fun then...

  • 3/5 Shruti R. 5 months ago on Google
    I took my parents out for a visit last weekend (end of October). The weather was pleasant but the lake was mostly dry. There was boating happening in some parts of the lake. There are games and camel ride options and you can top it off with lunch at the Harayana tourism hotel and restaurant beside the lake. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

  • 3/5 Siddhi P. 9 months ago on Google
    It is a nice place to visit in monsoon. I have been here 2-3 times but this place is best in monsoon. Too much cafe options you will not get here. There is only one restaurant. Will suggest to visit this place in weekday as weekends are overloaded with crowd.
