Kaylana Lake is amongst the most tranquil and relaxing havens you can visit in Jodhpur. The artificially built lake, which was constructed by Maharaja Pratap Singh in the 19th century, extends up to 81 sq km and is an extremely significant source of drinking water to the people of Jodhpur. The landscape surrounding the lake is rather rugged, with the terrain of rocky hills, dry arid region and vibrant lush green vegetation to provide you with solace from the hustle and bustle of city life. Popular as a hot spot for Bird watchers and photographers, the place is thronged by various migratory birds such as the Siberian crane and flamingo in winters and offers stunning views of sunsets on the glassy waters of the Kaylana Lake, providing as much a romantic as a peaceful getaway for people of all age groups.
