CLOSED: The place is Closed. Don't plan to travel from city to this place and then get disappointed. No idea why it's closed but has been closed for a while now.

I frequently visit Osman Sagar for bird photography..The areas I cover hardly anyone goes..as the place is a complete jungle..everywhere greenery and lots of birds..

It's closed for one year. Do not visit now. Hope this helps

One of the best place to visit nearby hyderabad . Being from mountains I always look for places where I can find peace from my busy life in Hyderabad . In this place I found it .I have visited this place many times . sunset and sunrise look very beautiful in this place . it looks even more beautiful and pleasent in cloudy weather .it gives u a vibes of a beach in cloudy weather This place is good for cycling as well . many traveling companies organises cycling program to osman sagar .I went with BCF once for cycling and it was very good experience This is must visit place near by hyderabad .

As of now this place is closed for development purpose people who are planning to visit this place kindly postpone their trip after dussehra.

Finally saw a gist of this While traveling from Gandipet and omg this is soo calm and beautiful place, ofcourse not much well maintained but stil the beauty is amazing. You can stare in it for hours ❤️

Gandipet lake or Osman Sagar as it is called was made by damming the Musi River after the great flood of 1908 in which more than 10000 people were killed. The lake was created by the then and last Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali, and the lake is eponymous with his name. It was a solution to prevent flood as well as a source of drinking water for the residents of Hyderabad. Now there are a lot of parks and resorts around the lake, and weekend around the lake are a crowded affair. The famous Chilkur Balaji Temple is located on its banks.

Beautiful. Peaceful. Near to city. Nicely renovated/maintained. Ample car parking. Good for 1 day family picnic.

Good week-end get away for family. The new lake front is good and you need to pay Rs 50 to enter. (only cash)

This spot is closed. It is very frustrating when one travels all the way from city and finds to be closed. The concerned authorities should pitch in for action

It's a very popular tourist place and has been developing continuously. I went around 3 pm on Saturday, limited crowd. Entry fees: Adult - Rs.50 and Children - Rs.20 (fee a little too much) Parking facility inside - free. The place was well constructed with designer walls. Inside was very spacious with big trees intact. Seating benches were available here and there. You can get a very nice view of the lake. People were coming for photoshoot.The place was also famous as a picnic spot. Many have come with packed meals and eating there with families. Washroom facility available - free.

Nice place better ☺️ photo shot awesome place ☺️

This was the beautiful place to visit and also right now the main view is closed up to next 5 months so please don't plan for Osman sagar lake. It's waste of going to long, however we find another route which touches the lake.

One of the nice picnic spot to visit weekend with friends and families. Location is beautiful & peaceful. A park is developing with natural greenery. Lake is peaceful and clean & clear. Visiting time is 06:00 am to 06:00 pm. Entry fees is ₹50/- per person. It is nice for photography.

Working is going on there so that no way to saw the view of Osman Sagar

Beautiful dam on the river. We can spend some quality time here in morning and evening. Good views from view points. One small park also located here. Overall good experience. If you are in Hyderabad must visited place.

They're mentioning that it will be closed for 1 year

Nice view, Nice lake. One of the biggest lake in Hyderabad. Best view for sunset. Best place for photoshoot @evng time .

Very beautiful place after renovation...I advised to go on weekdays to avoid crowd. During weekends, u have to park outside however during weekdays, u can park inside. It a good place for photography and relaxation. Best time to go around 4,4.30. Also there is adult ticket of 50 raised from 25

Good place for refreshment, pleasant lake view with water floating sounds which gives relaxing mode and super greenery environment.

We went to this lake in the evening. There is ample car parking. Car parking is 20 Rs. After parking you can see a park. On paying Rs 10 per person you can enter the park. Nice for strolling around. You have some slides and see-saw for kids to play. Lot of people were picnicking here. You can also get view of the lake. Outside the park there is a small canteen. From there you can walk on the bridge and admire the lake. However you cannot go to the lake as it is fenced. Near canteen there are few stairs which take you to a sort of view point from where you can get clear view of the lake.

This large, expansive lake is a jewel of scenic beauty as well as a great birding spot. What I like most is that it is at a drivable distance and is mostly natural. My hubby participated in a clean up drive last year, so yeah, subject to the same abuse as all out natural resources are, I guess. But nevertheless, it’s an idyllic spot. We never managed to go to the viewing spot at Gandipet as it was mostly closed last year due to the pandemic, but had a up and close view near the Chilkur Balaji temple (which is also beautiful). Got some dramatic shots of the usual suspects.

Osman Sagar lake and Park is at a very quite place though a bit remote area!! The place is very good for family outings and just for a stroll!! The garden is really well maintained and a beautiful place!!!Went there with my friends on a Sunday Evening!!

Great place to catch sunset/sunrise.

Best visiting place in Hyderabad Constructed by - Nizam Osman ali

Nice place but main path is closed so you have to go 3 km on other side there was a bridge there, from there you can see

A quick getaway with family and friends. If you want beach vibes, you should visit this place. Ample of place to walk and roam. Of course, it is pet friendly too. Usually Crowded on weekends.

During summer the climate is too hot, but it has a nice view and a great park to spend some quality time with your family and friends

Good place for evening drive but full of litter

Pleasant place to spend the perfect weekend with family. There are temples and drive-ins near by.

One of the last remaining and good nature places around Hyderabad. It is still a bit far from the city and has plenty of nature cover. A good place to visit once for great views and walks. There are no stairs / steps here, so good for old people too.

Good

Very nice place to spend 1 hour time with family. Nice architecture and clean lake

Calm and Serene. Great place for Sunrise and Sunset. Good for morning and evening walks

Must visit place for photoholic people.

😍😍

Osman Sagar Lake offers a serene escape with its picturesque surroundings and pleasant views. However, it's important to note that weekends tend to be quite crowded, possibly impacting the tranquility of the visit. The entry ticket for adults is priced at a reasonable 50/-. Bike parking facilities are satisfactory, ensuring a convenient experience for visitors arriving on two-wheelers. Despite the occasional crowding, the lake provides a peaceful setting, making it an ideal spot to spend quality time with family. The expansive views and calm atmosphere contribute to a relaxing outing, allowing visitors to connect with nature. Overall, Osman Sagar Lake stands out as a worthwhile destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat amid nature, even if weekends might require a bit more patience due to the larger crowds.

Car wash

The place has been nicely renovated, perfect place to enjoy the sunset with family. Parking is an issue, even though they have ample space inside for parking but on weekends due to rush you might need to park outside on the road.

Its a big lake. But for visiting , not sure why... Its closed now for visitors. No access.

One of the most beautiful places in Hyderabad

It's so beautiful and peaceful place to visit in Hyderabad.After renovation now it's the best place to visit in the evening time.some people told me that 6pm is the closing time but When I visited there is no time limit.actually after sunset only it is even more beautiful.

Good place for chill out with children and parents. Have to go early to enjoy it else you will spend time in finding place for parking vehicle as there is limited parking inside. Park inside was opened recently and the greenery is good and under development still.

Now good place near Hyderabad for family

Go there for enjoy nature and feel refresh. U can find birds sounds and peacocks.

This lake is beautiful. Walk on the dam used to be very good. But now it's closed now for security reasons. There are few local carts of ice cream, corn etc. But you will not get proper food. It's good for kids as well. Overall good place for family and friends.

Very pleasant

Almost half of the lake has dried up. Best to time to visit this place is monsoon.. Summer is the worst time. In winter you can see beautiful birds and have a wonderful time in the evening and early in the morning. Beautiful picturesque location.. Photographers delight, tiktokers will love this place for their outdoor video shoots. Recently me and my friends visited this place a 4am.. Dark, cold and adventure.. We spotted some birds, rabbits, frogs and snake in the dark.

Best place for tourist in hydrabad telangana

Good for photoshoot

Beautiful point to see sunset and sunrise on the lake by the dam. There's a nice park inside with an entrance fees of 10 rupees which is a short walk from a gate where entry of vehicles is prohibited. One can get a good glimpse of the river from the bridge covered in fence. It has a few rocks which can be climbed upon. There's also a small shop selling chips, coke etc. The parking fees for 2 wheeler is 10 rupees.

Pleasant place to visit with friends and family in weekends.

Super

Good.place but heavy vehicles are not allowed

Drinking water source for the city

Huge reservoir in Hyderabad. Amazing views in the evening. Can sit and relax with friends and family. I saw some boats in the reservoir so definitely fishing is going on. Calm and peaceful. Best to go when it's a little cloudy, you will enjoy the evening for sure. Also the water is quite still here. Of course, general public is not allowed to the water.

Pleasant weather ? at Rainey season

Good place for rest

Lovely place

Good

Too much fencing around the lake which takes the viewing experience

good place.

Most of the area is dried up compare to the last year due to the lack of rain On the other side of the lake Anglers throw their wastage like nets n fishing lines. Which cause harm to the wild life like birds n many more small species Rather than this Good place to visit at the evening time To watch sunset & hangout with family n friends

Nice place for weekend.

A great place to do sunsets and sunrises. The park is closed and no longer open to the public.

Nice view

No water ??

Probably the most scenic & beautiful lake in Hyderabad! Ideal peaceful place to visit if you love nature. The place is easily accessible from ORR & has no entry fees to enter. It's a feel good place, you can spend 30 minutes to 1 hour here.

Plenty of water this season.

Good place to an outing with family on the weekend. Needs much more improvement

Lake

super

Nice view place. But need to be developed

Great sagar Osman Sagar, popularly known as Gandipet, is a reservoir in the Indian city of Hyderabad. The lake is around 46 km², and the reservoir is around 29 km², with total level of 1,790 feet and a capacity of 3.9 tmc ft. History:- Osman Sagar was created by damming the Musi River in 1920, to provide an additional source of drinking water for Hyderabad and to protect the city after the Great Musi Flood of 1908. It was constructed during the reign of the last Nizam of Hyderabad State, Osman Ali Khan, hence the name. A princely guest house called Sagar Mahal, overlooking the lake and now a heritage building, was built as a summer resort of the last Nizam. Its location on the banks of the lake offers wonderful views. Telangana Tourism Department operates a resort in the building. The breeze of the lake is very pleasant and has been popular with the locals since the Nizam's time.

Fantastic.Hidden gem

It's a nice place to hang out

Good place for view

Love this place

Bad water

Better

The Largest of three lakes/reservoirs (Osman Sagar, Himayat Sagar and Hussain Sagar) in and around Hyderabad. It has been supplying drinking water to Hyderabad. Recent times, the reservoir is hardly getting any Inflows. Due to built up of numerous water-harvesting structures in the catchment area, water is not flowing into Osman Sagar for light rains. Water flows into reservoir only during heavy rainfall.

awsome

Serene surroundings. Plenty of water. Hills and rocks and park. A long walk to park in the evening is a great memory. Spend some time in the rock garden park. Cut a cake celebrate life.

It's a nice and quick getaway from the city. You can sit in the park and chill. It's more of a picnic place for families to spend quality time
