    This is a artificial lake built in 1159 AD by Balak Rao Parihar on. It is one of the beautiful tourist places in Jodhpur . It was built to be used as a water reservoir for the people of city. The lake is surrounded by a garden of mango, papaya, guava, and plum trees. It is also home of peacocks in the area.

    A Welcome hotel has been built here called Back Samand Lake Palace. The guard at the entrance did not let us enter into the gate. I also rang up the reception that since we had come from New Delhi we would like to see the lake and surroundings. They just did not let us enter. They gave us no alternative. After spending 700 rippers on a uberwe had to go back. It was atrocious behavior from Welcome Group. I am a doctor and my sister with me is a journalist. I am ashamed that they behaved in that way. Be aware of not being able to enter this hostile territory. Suchitra Deb

    Balsamand Lake is a lake situated 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from Jodhpur on Jodhpur-Mandore Road. This lake is a popular picnic spot, built in 1159 AD by Gurjara-Pratihara rulers. It was designed as a water reservoir to provide water to Mandore. The lake has a length of one kilometre (0.62 mi), breadth of 50 metres (160 ft) and a depth of 15 metres (49 ft). The Balsamand Lake Palace was built later as a summer palace on its shore. The lake is surrounded by lush green gardens that house groves of trees like mango, papaya, pomegranate, guava and plum. Animals and birds like the jackal and peacock also call this place home. Balsamand Lake is an artificial lake that was built way back in 1159 AD by Balak Rao Parihar as a water reservoir to cater for Mandore. One kilometre long, 50 m broad and 15 m deep; the lake is located in the middle of a manicured garden full of mango, papaya, pomegranate, guava and plum trees. Jackal and peacock are the prominent guests in the garden. There is an impressive red sandstone summer palace on the shores of the lake, which is now converted into a five-star property. Make a point to watch out for pesky monkeys when walking the nature trails. The area is a popular picnic spot for locals.

    An Oasis of joy in the middle of a desert. Beautiful gardens, gorgeous rooms and a sense of being detached from time itself. A place that takes you away from it all and helps you to get to know someone that you had not really taken pains to know for some time....yourself.

    We really enjoyed the visit to bal Samand lake palace . It's beautifully built on the lakeside with mesmerizing view of the sunrise and sunset . Food was great and authentic. The flora and fauna is preserved. We could spot so many monekeys . The lake is full of beautiful blooming lotuses.

    The only road to reach Lake is through ITC Lake hotel, but no public entry allowed (other than who has booking). Otherwise if u want to see lake then contact locals not Google maps.

    Balsamand Lake is a stunning artificial lake built in 1159 AD by Balak Rao Parihar on. It is one of the most beautiful tourist places in Rajasthan. It was built to be used as a water reservoir for the people of Mandore. The lake is surrounded by a spectacular manicured garden of mango, papaya, guava, pomegranate and plum trees. It is also home to jackals and peacocks in the area. A few years after the lake was built, a palace was erected on its shores. Balsamand Lake Palace is now converted into one of the most luxurious five-star properties in the country.

    I loved the peace at this place. It is a beautiful place outside the city. There are peacocks and horses too. The staff is friendly. You can have a chill time, walk around the property, do cycling and other activities. The hotel rooms are big and spacious but expensive. You can enjoy the nature and birds chirping at this serene place.

    Note:- The five stars are given for your attention. The Bal Samand Lake is now converted into private property so it is not open to all. There are many sites showing everyone to visit the lake but it is not allowed to everyone. This is now converted into a private property i.e. welcome heritage

    The lake was created in 1159 AD by the Gurjara-Pratihara rulers to save the city of Jodhpur from droughts. The Maharaja Sur Singh, who was the creator of this artificial lake, was honoured by the title of Sawai Raja in turn for his impeccable services. Surrounded by lush gardens, it contains a large variety of trees like mango, papaya, pomegranate, etc. Balsamand Palace, built in the 17th century on the lake, is a red sandstone architectural marvel which overlooks the lake.
