    Whether you want to exercise and burn calories, or you've already exercised and want to gain back those calories, this is the place to be! A very beautiful site especially in late evening. It has a huge path around which you'll find people just walking, either alone, or with friends or on a date. Yes, DATE, because there are so many good restaurants and eateries around this place to dine in. The best view comes late in the evening when it's dark and you see the restaurant lights and their reflection in the lake!!

    This place is good for a morning / evening walk. The water fountain is not working now. This place offers many eateries nearby. This place is usually crowded. Earlier there was a beautiful park. Now the park has closed down. This place requires maintenance. People should also need to know their duties and responsibilities towards their surroundings.

    A good place to go for evening walk or jogging or fresh air. Some people just prefer sitting beside pond with family for chat. Lot of students in groups can be seen hanging around. Some people even celebrate thier birthday. Lot of fast food options in food zone and across the street variety of restaurants available for quick bite. Ample of parking space for cars and two wheelers.

    A beautiful place to visit in the centre of the city. Visiting either early morning or evening gives a fantastic look and peace of mind if you want to see the beauty of light, crowd and want to have some snacks the evening is the better. Around the pool a there is a footpath which glorifies the look. A long large National flag ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ gives an stunning look and alleviates the beauty. Also known as Telebandha.

  • 5/5 SAYAN C. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the most beautiful places at Raipur which offers a soothing escape from the cacophony of the busy city. It is a large water body situated by the marine drive with nice pavements encircling the same. It is highly recommended for morning and evening walks, but in the evening it is nicest with the palpating touch of the cool breeze and beautiful reflections on the water body. The entire water body is surrounded by many cafes and restaurants having the facilities of seating benches, chairs and other stuff. It also has a yoga centre, gym and rest rooms on the pavements. Apart from that there are some sculptures and structures which are quite photogenic for the photo enthusiasts. This is the best place for walking, cycling, jogging and also for having chit chats with the dearest ones. There are some swans on the water who enjoy swimming on the same a lot making it a good attraction for the children. There is a toy train and a small double decker bus for joy rides.

    Marine Drive Raipur is a scenic destination nestled amidst the vibrant city, adorned by the captivating Telibandha Lake. This open area offers a delightful retreat, seamlessly blending urban charm with natural beauty. You can find out street food to variety of Restaurants. Your friends/family will definitely enjoy. Tip : Don't try to drive nearby on Sunday (5-9 PM) by 4 wheeler ๐Ÿš—. Traffic is on its peak & you very well about the two wheelers of Raipur. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    Marine Drive is a 3.5 km long promenade along the Telibandha Lake in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh. It is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, and is especially crowded during the evenings and weekends. The promenade is lined with trees and shrubs, and offers stunning views of the lake. There are also a number of benches and gazebos where visitors can relax and enjoy the scenery. In the evenings, the promenade is lit up with colorful lights, creating a magical atmosphere. There are a number of activities that visitors can enjoy at Marine Drive. Some popular activities include: Walking or jogging: The promenade is a great place to go for a walk or jog, and is especially refreshing in the evenings. Cycling: There are a number of bicycle rental shops near the promenade, so you can rent a bicycle and explore the area. Boating: There are a number of boat rides available on the lake, which offer a unique perspective of the city. Fishing: The lake is a popular spot for fishing, and you can rent fishing gear from the shops near the promenade. Marine Drive is a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. It is also a popular spot for couples and families, and is a great place to spend a day out. Here are some of the pros and cons of Marine Drive: Pros: Beautiful views of the lake Spacious and well-maintained Lots of activities to enjoy Conveniently located in the heart of the city Cons: Can get crowded during peak hours Some litter on the ground Lack of shade in some areas Overall, Marine Drive is a great place to visit in Raipur.

    I have just liked this place. As it gives the feelings like seashore and it gives the premium feeling to you. It's a best place for the night out and for hang out with the families, friends, girlfriend ๐Ÿ˜…. In the one side there is a lake with great lightings and on opposite to that lake there is a beautiful street and nearby that there is lots of restaurant and cafe is there. So completely it gives the premium feeling. I will suggest to go at night at about 9 pm it's a best time to visit

    Raipur Marine Drive is a refreshing escape from the bustling city life. The well-paved path offers ample space for strolling, jogging, or cycling, and it is a popular spot for locals. There are several food stalls and vendors offering delicious street food and beverages, allowing visitors to indulge their taste buds. The lack of seating options during peak hours can be a minor inconvenience, and the cleanliness could be enhanced by increasing the number of garbage bins and maintaining regular cleaning schedules.

  • 3/5 J K. 1 year ago on Google
    Marine Drive located nearly the mid point of Raipur city and one of the busiest place in the evening. People come over here to have some spare time with family, friends and belongings. The food plazas, shops and cafes near by are full of people as you'll get almost every kind of snacks and eatables with walking distance. Not soothing and calm at all as it is situated just next to a very busy NH with vehicles 24/7. But the place is really catchy and nice.

    The atmosphere at the lake was lively, especially during weekends and holidays. Families and groups of friends could be seen picnicking, playing games, or simply relaxing by the water. There were designated areas for seating, allowing people to comfortably enjoy their meals while admiring the view. Here, food stalls provided a delightful setting for spending time with friends and family. The beautiful surroundings, coupled with the availability of tasty snacks, made it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Despite some minor areas for improvement, I would recommend this place as a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy a day out.

    It's an area with a huge water body and a walking track all around it. Many street food vendors are nearby the water body. There is a road with parking along one face of the water body. Many small restaurants are there nearby serving various delicacies. A typical youth hangout and attracts many morning and evening walk freeks.

    Marine drive of telibandha lake is a very exciting refreshing and relaxing place of Raipur. One can visit with family every evening and relax and enjoy the sunset, the local street food and the environment. The lake is a bit dirty at the edges for which the department should take action for cleanliness but overall a good place to visit.

  • 5/5 Shubbu 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to have peace and positive vibes.. visit with your loved ones or alone, you will feel good. Best time to visit is evening time. And watching the Indian flag waving with the wind is best experience ever. Waves of water with the wind is also very happening to see. Food and snacks stores are available near by. But people should not throw any kind of garbages. They should keep the place clean for making it even better place for one and others.

    This place is amazing ! I have visited this place in almost all shades of color I.e. morning, afternoon, evening, night .. A nice crowd and nice place to be when you are with friends with family or with your girl. Now a days this place is getting a bit Crowder and mostly.people are not following any focus guideline. When it drizzle (light rain) and you are here when sun set is taking place then trust me it looks amazing.

    The Marine Drive in Raipur is situated right in the heart of the city, along with the periphery of the immensely beautiful Telibandha Lake. The whole stretch has been meticulously planned and beautified by the government to attract tourists. Among the many initiatives taken to upgrade Marine Drive to international tourist standards, the most noticeable ones are enabling wi-fi throughout the stretch, installing clean toilets, carrying out mass health-awareness drives, and setting up food stalls and selfie-points through its entire length.

  • 4/5 075_Rahul R. 6 months ago on Google
    Very good road, good vibes for night out and hangout with friends ๐Ÿ˜Œ, but the problem is that it's almost no mans land. You will not find any buildings, hospitals and Shops for long distance. Overall good for long drives ๐Ÿ‘. But drive safe because the roads are very good and it will force you to drive fast and be aware of cows on the road.
