Kaylana
Lake
in
Jodhpur,
Rajasthan
is
located
8
kms
to
the
west
of
Jodhpur
on
the
Jaiselmer
road.
Pratap
Singh,
the
then
Prime
Minister
of
Jodhpur,
got
the
lake
constructed
in
1872.
This
artificial
lake
is
spread
over
84
square
kms.
Where
the
lake
now
lies,
was
once
an
area
having
palaces
and
gardens
of
two
rulers
of
Jodhpur.
They
were
destroyed
to
make
the
Kaylana
Lake.
Near
to
the
lake
is
a
Dak
Bungalow
of
PHED,
the
Irrigation
department.
There
are
also
boating
facilities
available
for
the
tourists
here.
An
ideal
picnic
spot
for
tourists,
this
lake
offers
a
breathtaking
view
of
the
sunset.
At
that
time
the
sky
looks
like
a
canvas
splashed
with
spectacular
colors.
Kaylana
Lake
is
the
perfect
place
to
relax
or
have
picnics.
If
you
are
interested
in
birds,
then,
this
place
will
further
interest
you.
Also
known
by
the
name
of
Pratap
Sagar,
the
area
around
this
lake
was
once
full
of
wild
bears.
It
served
as
a
secured
hunting
place
for
the
royal
members.
But,
with
the
increase
in
population
it
has
not
remained
so.
Don't
even
try
to
swim
in
this
if
you
are
not
an
expert
swimmer.
Better
still,
don't
swim
at
all.
Many
youngsters
trying
to
swim
across
this
deep
lake
have
lost
their
lives.
Inspite
of
this,
Kaylana
Lake
is
a
charming
picnic
spot.
The
beauty
of
this
place
will
keep
on
lingering
with
you
for
a
long
time
after
your
visit.
