Hidden place In mumbai , with a amazing view of nature and the lake which supplies water to mumbai need to be protected and people should not throw garbage any where

Hidden gem for cyclists and bikers in Mumbai, this is a nice off-roading destination. During the monsoon, it turns into a green heaven and looks nice and lush. The approach road has tall palm trees that give a feel of being in Kerala and looks absolutely picturesque. There's a small off-roading trail that will lead you to the lake. The lake looks absolutely gorgeous in the morning with the sunrise reflection making it look even more beautiful. Best to go post 7am, as it bright and well lit. Do not venture inside the water as there are crocodile infestation in it. If you go deeper inside, you'll find a nice camping area that looks like an island of green even during the summer season.

Vihar Lake is one of the biggest lake in mumbai......... There is a filtration plant, and we drink water from this lake.................... From here methi river originates and this lake is originator.................... They have a great view too.................... And after coming here you will feel like that you are in Nature...............................

Best when visited early morning for the sunrise. We visited here ridding our bicycles with a group of friends. The locals may help you get there.

Beautiful and scary lake

Best season for visit is rainy only..... U will get best siniry ever fully greenery fully natural... The peace u ever needed for life moment n photoshoot

Considered to be the largest lake of Mumbai, Vihar Lake was constructed in 1860 on the Salsette group of islands. This lake, situated in between Tulsi Lake and Powai Lake, meets up to 3% of the city's southern region's water requirements. The water of the lake is filtered at Bhandup in a large filtration plant to meet the drinking water needs of the people. This quiet stretch of water extends up to 27 miles from the center of Mumbai. The lake gets its water from rainwater collected in the catchment area of Powai-Kanheri Hill Ranges. Vihar Lake is situated within the premises of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and is known to be one of the prime sources of water for the city.

Vihar Lake is located near Vihar village on the Mithi River within the precincts of the Borivali National Park, also called the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, in North Mumbai. When built in 1860 (construction started in 1856), it was considered as the largest lake in Mumbai in the Salsette group of islands. It is hemmed between the Tulsi Lake and the Powai Lake(shown in map). It partly meets the drinking water needs of the South Mumbai region... It supplies only 3% of the Mumbai city's water requirement, after filtration at Bhandup where the large water filtration plant is located.......

This is very beautiful place. The lake is situated in the jungle area near powai. Scenery and greenery is very beautiful place. This is the amazing place in Mumbai. As the part of jungle the water is very good. No waste here and there, just clean calm and beauty everywhere. Lovely environment. How to reach there is question? and the partial area of the lake is prohibited for the visit but one can go from Nitie side... So please go through the way is allowed.

Even though this is a restricted area, people still go here. The view is pretty good of the hills. Good place for a swim.

Best place to invest on yourself while there is so much peace. But stay careful as the area is well known for wild animals too

Vihar lake is located in sanjay Gandhi national park. It is such a beautiful place to visit and feel the beauty of this place. Lovely place for nature lovers and swimmers. Photographers will definitely love this place for wonderful opportunity for them. Love it.

Just you can say this feeling is as like when you will get more than what you want

I go every Sunday for swimming

Mast Place, not allowed to general public, it's an MCGM property And because of crocodile seen here.

Really a peaceful place to enjoy your weekend.

I couldn't quite believe my eyes when I reached this beautiful lake. My friends and I were cycling around Powai and explored this beautiful lake. The lake is all the more appealing owing to it being present right in the middle of the concrete jungle!! It's the perfect getaway with the most soothing view 😁

I like to go there ones this week I am going there yup

Nice place

Awesomeness can be seen after you visit this place. Too natural

Beautiful place in mumbai

I and my friend Mithun visited this place in 2014 during our M.Sc days. For your information, IIT Bombay residence was not allowed to come from the shortcut path which we followed. Vihar lake has very fresh water. Please be careful if you do not know swimming- an IITian has lost his life here.

It was amazing to reach vihar lake but scary at the same time because there are wild animals in arrrey colony

Vihar Lake is located near Vihar village on the Mithi River within the precincts of the Borivali National Park, also called the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, in North Mumbai. When built in 1860 (construction started in 1856), it was considered as the largest lake in Mumbai in the Salsette group of islands. It is hemmed between the Tulsi Lake and the Powai Lake(shown in map). It partly meets the drinking water needs of the South Mumbai region.[1] It supplies only 3% of the Mumbai city's water requirement, after filtration at Bhandup where the large water filtration plant is located. The lake is located 32 km to the north of Mumbai by road.[5] The nearest suburban electric train station is Borivli East on the Western Railways and is close to western express highway, with a further travel of 6 km from the station by road to the lake.[6] The nearest Sahar International Airport is at a distance of about 20 km.[7] As the lake is located inside the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, entry permits are to be obtained from the park authorities for visit to the lake.

It is a great and very beautiful place. Must visit

(Translated by Google) A really amazing place. Unfortunately there was not enough time on our trip ... (Original) Ein wirklich staunenswerter Ort. Leider war zu wenig Zeit auf unserer Reise...
