Wonderful place for all generations. It's a walk inside the nature. Specifically it's a blessings for this city that such a beautiful lake is situated in the heart of the city. Amazing view of the lake and birds. Calm and quiet place while we take a walk in the path way. Request everyone to maintain cleanliness during their visit.

It was very nice place where you can spend time during free time with friends and family. There are people who do jogging and exercise during mornings and evenings near the lake. The view near the lake is very nice. Everyone can go and enjoy the breeze of cool wind and sit on the cement chairs and kill time under the trees

A long walk, almost 4.5 kms around the lake was great experience. We can watch birds, if we have patience to do so. With a small island in the middle of lake, full of cranes, is a valuable time spent.

Nice large expanse of water body known for great literary gaints walking area.

All I can say is this place is a blessing for Mysoreans. How beautiful is this man made lake built by king for irrigation! Beautiful migratory birds visited last monsoon here :) Lucky to take a look at them in their natural habitat. Just a walk is a meditative experience here, doing nothing but looking at the birds and wildlife here!

Lost its beauty long ago. Now this tank is surrounded by roads and pollution. Stinking smell of the sewage water. No space for the rain water to flow in. All inroads of water blocked. The custodian of this tank, University of Mysore is in deep slumber. Toilets stinking with no water

A very long stretch of place for walking with some contours and uneven turning's here and there. A very good place for walking,doing stretch's,jogging,running etc. A calm place with quite surroundings with seating facilities. Good to visit early morning amd evenings.

Very good place for morning walks, also you get to see peacock , pelican and many other birds as well.. preferable time to visit would be between 6-9am

More than a 150 years old this lake was supplying drinking water to Saraswati Puram and various other industries like sandal wood oil factory etc in Mysore.Ut now provides a rich habitat to diverse species like reptiles , birds , flowers and other trees .Entry to the bio diversity park is free . There are few other water bodies in Mysore which they say we're interconnected .Hebbal Lake Karanji Lake Lingambhudhi Lake etc The Kukkarahalli Lake is under the aegis of Mysore University. It is open to the public for exercising and de- stressing , tourists etc. It is also meant for Scientists , Scientific Community and the students of Science pursuing sciences like Zoology , Botany, Medicine etc In the last one decade the park holds a flower show with the display of various types of Flowers and Plants

Best place to morning and evening walks. All kind of people ll be there for fresh air hence might look crowded on weekends and mornings. Pleasant weather though. Walking around the lake gives a different feeling and environment. Lucky if u meet an celebrity.

Perfect spot to hide from the hustling and bustling of the city. The sad part is that it is open for few hours in the morning and evening. I wished its opened the entire day so that we could escape the scorching heat of the afternoon sun. In the evening, it tends to get crowded with many coming for walks or runs.

Nice lake only for roam around. Tuesday is closed so plane accordingly

This is the most serene lake. Crowded though. But just the walk will give you all the therapy you need

Wonderful place both for picnic and for Walker's & Joggers. Good for bird watching and natural beauty of the lake. As good mud path around 3.6 km of lake.

Perfect place for walking and jogging. Covered with lots and lots of trees all around the walkway. Best time to go is early morning and evening.
